Haematology-wise things are looking pretty good. The GvHD is back under control, the steroid dose is coming down again - prednisolone 3mg currently - I'm in remission, haemoglobin should be rising with the EPO injections and apart from a load of residual side effects from last year's chemotherapy there are no real problems. The 'residual side effects' are just a bunch of unpleasant nuisances.
However the fatigue is gettting worse and I'm needing a rest most afternoons, something I haven't needed for many months. Going upstairs makes me SOB. The upshot is Karine took me along to the GP last week and the result is a referral back to cardiology. When they fitted a pair of stents in February they noted a couple of other arteries with some narrowing so maybe one of these has narrowed some more or perhaps one of the stents is in trouble - ODTAA - 'one darn thing after another'!
