Thirty months post transplant and Andrew remains cancer-free! Hallelujah! However, his weakened immune system continues to battle against all sorts of respiratory ailments. And while Andrew can bike to his office in Silver Spring and hang with former junior national (and international) tennis buddies, he still doesn't feel 100%. The chronic cough and blocked tear ducts are getting old!
After his last (clear) scan, one of his oncologists noticed that his immunoglobulin levels are low. He has been for more thorough blood work and we will meet with a Johns Hopkins Immunologist on April 3rd (Good Friday!)
It would be amazing if this explains why his immune system has been unable to fight off infections! And maybe there will be a clear remedy! We hope this is a breakthrough after so many months of waiting for "allergies" to dissipate.
Please join us in praying for a path forward. (And for a fun date day post doctor appointment - we haven't had one in a while!)
