I had another routine appointment with my oncologist last week. My doctor gave me quite a bit of good news! All my blood counts are stable and getting stronger. I'm allowed to drive again, (I haven't driven for 15 months), fly again, I don't have to wear a mask when I'm in large crowds or at the hospital, I'm in the window now where it is less and less likely that the Epstein Barr Virus will return and trigger another occurrence of lymphoma, and at 18 months to 2 years post transplant, the doctor will start using the "cure" word!
Also, he gave me permission to go back to work. I have an interview tomorrow at Fuller Seminary where I worked before I got sick. My previous position opened up again (with some additional responsibilities in marketing). The work atmosphere at Fuller is absolutely wonderful, and I love to be around students. (I graduated from Fuller Seminary in 2006 with a Master of Arts in Theology.)
All of this good news is pretty amazing considering twice last year the doctor didn't think that I would live. Thanks to all of you who prayed for my recovery. God is good!
P.S. My hair is coming back...curly!
