One of the recent blood count tests was to count the CD3, CD33, and CD56 natural killer cells and see what percentage were existing and what percentage are newly created by the transplanted stem cells. The results are in and 100% of these key cells are from the new stem cells! This is great news and results like that are earlier than expected. The new cells have engraffed well and are busy producing new blood cells. Steph will be scheduled to have a bone marrow biopsy next week, so we can take an even closer look at how the new cells have taken up residence in the marrow and how they are producing new cells.
