Just an update since I had a HOP appointment yesterday and my last visit there was 5 months ago!!
Not to brag, but my blood counts are awesome:
Wbc 5.02
Hb 13.3
Plt 289
Neuts 3.6
One of my liver results was a bit high (I have a feeling the two big glasses of Pimms & lemonade the day before were to blame) so I've got to repeat that in two weeks just to make sure it was a blip. Other than that, I've just got my ongoing gynae/endocrine/hormone/menopause issues and the related dermatology stuff, but day-to-day I feel absolutely great.
My big 10k race is in two weeks time (30 May) so I've upped my training mileage for that in addition to the 6km walking commute I do every day to work. I've linked my fundraisng page in my sig if you fancy giving some money to the Anthony Nolan Trust (the UK's bone marrow registry charity that found me my match), but I'll give a full report in the Events forum with my race time after I'm done. I definitely want to beat last year's time (53:48), but I'm aiming to try and beat my pre-illness personal best (51:13). In a spectacular, perfect work, I really want to break the 50 minute mark, but I think that might have to wait a few more years!
