"Her blood type changed": Amazing!
Her doctor is in Boston, but she lives here in Maine. She went to the local hospital for a routine transfusion as part of her treatment, and they wouldn't perform the procedure at first because her tested type didn't match their records.
They had to call the doctor in Boston to confirm what had happened before they would proceed. The hospital staff was incredulous.
She is literally more than 40 years older than her own blood factory. And it appears that the stem cells haven't only been busy on replacing her bone marrow.
I will say it again, it boggles my mind. I am still having a difficult time absorbing the implications of what she has experienced. In 7 years, is the genetic code for most of her self-replacing tissues going to test out as being from another individual? If so, what does that portend?
