Well the second biopsy came back and it too is consistent with a drug reaction and not GvH, so they will start treating the drug reaction to make it go away faster. Assuming a clear chest CT which we took a little while ago, Trish will start a medral pack (normal allergic reaction steroids) tonight to force the drug reaction to an end. So, we do know that she is 100% donor cells, we don't think she has had any GvH as of yet. Her nurse practitioner told us today that at discharge her flow cytometry was normal and showed no signs of Leukemia. So despite Trish feeling awful, being puffed up and looking as red as a lobster, she is actually doing pretty well.
The only chemisty that is low on her at the moment is her magnesium level.
From an allergic reaction I had a while back the Medral pack should start relief for Trish shortly after the first pill and that is good news.
