Day +142… Life goes on

4/18/14 – In a blink of an eye I have been back to work for 13 days. Sure there are times I am exhausted at the end of the day, but it is a good tired. There are moments when I feel like I never left. It is amazing how quickly we can get back to business as usual. I just feels so good to be back.

The great news for me continues to be that my health has been very good, my counts are where they should be and I have no signs any challenges (like GVHD).

With me feeling well I will not be updated this blog as often. I certainly will provide updates on any changes to my health, updates on scans, status on receiving immunizations, and anything else that I think there will be interest in hearing about.

There is no doubt that I have been very blessed with a stem cell transplant that has gone very smoothly.

With today being Good Friday I would like to acknowledge all of the great people who have made sacrifices for us.

For God so loved the world that he gave  his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.
John 3:16

More to come…

Day +125... Back to work

4/1/14 – Can it be 125 days since my stem cell transplant? It is truly amazing how things look after you have been through them. When we are faced with trials and tribulations it is hard to envision a time when they have past. If someone said to me to picture 125 days into the future it would have put me a lot more at ease but we cannot see what future holds for us. We must have hope, faith and trust in God that all will be fine.

Yesterday I had my normal biweekly visit at the John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center and all my counts were excellent. I am very confident that I can start to get re-acclimated into my life. I am happy to say that I will start back at work tomorrow. Sure, I will have some limitations/restrictions on me like: limited exposure to crowds and no travel for a little while, but I am truly very excited to get back to work.

My next appointment at the Cancer Center is Monday, April 15th  

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer
