Mild COVID & Good News From Bone Marrow Biopsy

Mom’s COVID symptoms have been super mild. She hasn’t had a fever and aside for fatigue and some aches/pains she’s been doing well. She should be done with her quarantine soon!

We met with her transplant doctor today via Zoom to review the results of her bone marrow biopsy from 2-weeks ago.

We got positive news!

Mom is in remission.

None of the mutations that were present before the transplant were found in the biopsy. Their testing was very thorough and they couldn’t find anything concerning!

The donor is 82% in her bone marrow. She is 100% donor as far as chromosomes go. So it’s looking good!

They want her to continue physical therapy to build more strength. She’ll also be coming into the Cancer Center, later this week or early next week, to treat her for Epstein Barr virus.

Overall, they’re focused on building her quality of life from here out. She’s got much less to worry about. They’ll start to wean her off the immune suppressant meds in the weeks to come.
