Today is Women’s day! For me, as a chimera half-man half-woman, it will be only “half a women’s day” ah ah! But I will celebrate anyway!

Friday afternoon is the day when I am working on stained glass: I will ask my teacher to pay only half the fee :-)!

I am almost 33 months after the stem cells graft. My blood analysis is kind of perfect. I might have still a little bit of GVHc, but it keeps coming and going, mainly in the mouth and on the sexe… In two weeks, I will meet a dermatologist for another turn of phototherapy (a carcinoma to remove). I will ask her what she thinks… Anyway no big deal!

To celebrate this special day, here is a song by J. Ferrat:

based on a poem by Aragon:

I will not leave this post without thanking the fantastic team at Saint Antoine hospital and in particular my kind graft doctor , my anonymous donor, my wonderful family and my friends: I love you all!

Take care and enjoy life!

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.
