Last monday, we had a discussion with the doctor about what we could change to ease the day to day life. We asked in particular if the time had come to be able to eat outside: yes was the answer! So yesterday night, we went for our first diner in a restorant sinnce last May! Not a fancy restaurant, just a small vietnamese place near our home! But I was so happy! For us, it opens the way to take some “vacation”for a few days!

Things are improving a lot. We just need to visit the day hospital every 10 days. The cyclosporine I take is decreasing each week; by November I will be free!

On Monday, the catheter was removed, so I am free to take a full shower now…

On the other end, during our visit to the day hospital, because we meet various patients with different “histories”, I can appreciate more how lucky I am: I am on the way to a full recovery! Very few people we meet have this chance!

Take care and have a good day.

In 2011 I was diagnosed to have MDS (myelodysplasic syndrom). Recently, the disease worsened, so I have to have a hematopoietic stem cells transplant. In this blog, I share the steps toward a full recovery. It might also help me and other to deal with this scarry process. All the process is taking place at the Saint Antoine hospital in Paris.I would like to thank all the doctors and nurses there, who are doing a fantastic job. They are both technically at the top and so friendly: they are like family! Anybody who would be interested by more informations regarding my experience could contact me through the "comments" link.
