The results are in. The cancer is undetectable, the GvHD is bizarre and my next appointment won't be until December. My last appointment for this visit was yesterday. It was with an eye doctor across town in Seattle. There are a few GvHd symptoms that can occur in the eyes. Although the nurse was friendly and the doctor seemed competent, it reminded me that the staff at the SCCA is world class. They display a professionalism that just doesn’t occur in other medical offices.
As far as my medical status, the news is that I am "perplexing." That was the term the nurse and doctor used to describe my status. This is nothing new. Similar descriptions were used for my GvHD symptoms for several months. I keep displaying symptoms that only occur to a tiny percent of transplant patients. It's neither good or bad news. The cancer is virtually gone and that's all that matters.
