100% transfer!

We got the DNA report today and my immune system is now 100% from Ann. All of my cells are gone. So the transplant was successful and I survived with relatively minimal side effects.

LeMaistre does think I'm getting some GVHD, but "some" is a good thing. I'll be wearing long sleeved shirts on the golf course for a couple of years.

Around mid-February we'll do our first set of PET/CAT scan tests to see how well Ann's cells are working against the cancer. I'm betting on Ann!

Merry Christmas!
