update-day +107

yesterday, i had a doctor's appt to see how things were going.
so far my results have shown that my cells are normal and CANCER FREE.
however, it looks like i have developed Chronic GVHD-my doctor had a biopsy taken of my skin and has started me on some creams. my face is so dry. i went to a dermatologist on monday who gave me some medication/topical cream that was really drying my face out. it was so painful to put this stuff on my face, but i thought it would just some getting used to. But when Dr. Donato saw my face on Thursday, she was like "whoa, your face is really dry"
So I have been itchy. Yesterday after my appt, I took this pill an Atarax, that seemed to put me to sleep for hours. I don't like doing that. Hopefully I will have a mild case.
I also cancelled my appt at The Cancer Institute of New Jersey because they have decided I am not ready to go back yet. I have another appt on Tuesday.
Today, I drove my mom to pick up a rental car because on Monday she will start to work at the Community Blood Center. Ironically, my mother worked there for over 20 years. She has got the go ahead to let me be on my own. I am a lil nervous but I have to just take things as steps. She is going to meet me over at the hospital on Tuesday morning.
It is almost midnight. I am going to watch a movie with Alison now.
I hope everyone has a nice and safe weekend.
