I\u2019m back in the outpatient clinic this morning for another in person assessment and blood work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s raining here but I understand Winnipeg has snow and a cold week ahead! Just when you think winter is over there is one more surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing too much to report here. I\u2019m feeling well and a bit stronger every day. No complications and we should be cleared to return home after this Friday\u2019s meeting with the CAR-T team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday I went for the biggest walk so far. I have an app that showed a popular trail in the area, the Joshua Creek Trail. However Google maps said the trailhead was ~1hr away. OK, lets give that a go and see what the start of the trail looks like. Once at the trailhead it was \u201cWell, I\u2019m here I might as well walk down it a bit to see what it\u2019s like\u201d. A little while later I\u2018m telling myself \u201cIt\u2019s just a bit further to Lake Ontario\u201d, all the while trying to remember I\u2019ll have to walk all the way back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, after the blood work results are back they have decided that I need an injection of Grastofil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From drugs.com<\/a> here is the explanation of why Grastofil for me at this time. It\u2019s actually the third injection since I was admitted to the hospital.

\u201cto reduce the duration of neutropenia (low levels of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell) \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, they have re-started some other medications to help prevent any infections while my immune system recovers. Apparently, this is all standard stuff for a recovering CAR-T patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just one more week and we should be heading home to Winterpeg<\/s> Winnipeg. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
