I've just had another blood test and all my counts are up on last Wednesdays figures. My Platelets are now 24, not exactly a high count but significant in that they are not only holding their own but have gained by around 10%.
When measuring the success of a bone marrow transplant one of the significant factors is the point at which the patient gains a platelet count greater than 20. So this is a milestone in that it would appear that my stem cells have engrafted and are now producing marrow and bloods.
I've asked if I can come into Ward 1 tomorrow and have my PICC line removed. It's been in my arm now for over six weeks and it will be great to be untethered from it.
Tonight Sarah and I shall go out for dinner and celebrate!
