Hey, sorry for the slow reply. I've been off the Tuz a bit this week. But thanks for asking! 
Tuzzers have been really cool and checking in... it means a lot. (I'm looking at you, @GordoDeCentral 
.)
The good news is things have been going about as well as expected. I only have three infusion treatments left, once per month, and my daily oral meds for the next 9 months. My body has reacted to all that about as good as can be expected. And the care here, while a touch industrial at times, has been excellent with cool people who are on top of it. Impressive for a free public healthcare system in Portugal, really.
So three months in this year-long program, I'm kind of now at cruising altitude getting ready for the long rest of the flight. Unlike the first few months of takeoff and turbulence, I can now take off the seatbelt and walk about the cabin. If you look at my blood labs, you'd never know anything was wrong with me. And healthwise, I feel pretty much 100% of normal again. No more anemia and even my blood oxygen is back to normal.
This process is about loading up regularly with a lot of meds for a year. Kind of like baking a cake for a set amount of time. After which there's a good likelihood that I'll be in remission and won't have to continue to take any meds to keep my immune system from messing with my red blood cells. So that's the hope.
The main issue now is complications with all the meds. I'm intentionally immunosuppressed, so catching a cough becomes a much more serious thing. And last week I had some inflammation show up in my joints and literally made my gluteus maximus ass hurt for days, so I had to sit on soft chairs for a while. Or maybe I'm just butthurt about Allegri. Stupid crap like that you have to put up with.
Now aren't you sorry you asked?
How's things with you?
Congrats, mang!
I have a business proposal for you. You know how like OnlyFans seems to attract not only entrepreneurial strippers but also the occasional amputee school teacher who caters to a handful of dudes with a deep fetish for scratching herself with a yard rake?
I'm thinking of going the other direction in this era of social media overexposure.

The concept: Using generative AI, we cater to haters by producing fake photos of all the peeps you are overly sick of seeing and hearing about. We render them not naked, but with a garbage back tied over their heads and their bodies encased with honey and fire ants.
That sort of thing. Think we might have a business opportunity here? I mean, think of all the Allegri haters this could service.

But Mr. Wonderful... I mean, that guy is an entertainment TV clown that's branded as a shrewd investor. I am really surprised how many people fall for that persona when his only measure of success is to sell eyeballs to advertisers.
