Well I never would have believed it but I am travelling to Europe tomorrow. Last Wednesday my hemaglobin was back up to 129 (120 - 140 is normal for women) - probably higher than most of you! Dr. B and Dr. A said we better "make hay while the sun shines" and go ahead with Europe! I will have another bone marrow biopsy a couple weeks after I return, but in the meantime Mom and I will make our European debut and visit Germany (and meet Oliver Bosch who donated his marrow for transplant #2), do a tour from Rome through Italy to France ending in Paris, and then spend 5-6 days in Scotland (and visit my aunt and uncle Louise and Dave) before returning to Calgary in early August.
One day you think your life is shattered and the next you're going to see the Sistine Chapel and the Eiffel Tower. 44 pills per day to none (which means a glass of fine Italian wine is in order). Life is like Calgary's weather...just wait a few minutes and it will change.
Cheers (and thanks for all your prayers)
