Well I haven't posted in a while and that needs to be rectifiied. So about three weeks ago I was at 96 for red cells (remember 'norm' is 125-175) and I got two units of blood at that time. They figure that each unit raises your red count by 10 so I left the clinic around 116, that day, three weeks ago. In the past few months I have been dropping 5 to 10 points each week. So a week ago we were surprised when the count came back at 116! Then I had a test Friday and the count is 118! This is amazing!
It could be that there was a slight good result from the interferon but that was masked by the side effects. It could be that my more active heavy labour around the house since before Christmas is causing a 'demand' that my body is rising to meet. I don't know what is causing it but it is great.
This might mean that there is greater hope that the Donor Lymphocyte treatment coming up in Feb has a better chance to knock out my Fibrosis. Who knows but Doc Shoozenbootzen will know when we see him Friday the 25. Stay tuned.
more later

Your body is doing an Alpha Male response since you had maoes staying under your roof. You are welcome!

You had males staying with you too, but I am sure those two maoes had a greater influence...
Chris - your story is truly full of amazing plot twists. I'm hoping the writer stays with this plot line for a while now!
