Hi all

Well got to hospital at 8 am bloods taken and sent off. At 9.15 we were told white blood cell count was 14 so harvest was going ahead. Put on machine at 9.30, taken off at 1.30. Nurse said she would phone in about two hours to tell us how Franks cells behaved. Left hospital did a little bit of shopping just got home and Franks mobile rang and nurse said that he had done exceptionally well that they got 7.2. I was not in the room at the time so couldn't get a chance to ask — is that 7.2 million? Considering consultant wants at least 1 million – I am over the moon. Hope that I'm right. Frank said the terrible pain was worth it 😀

Regards to all

Score!! Great result. Well done those cells.
I also had a bumper harvest in October and I was really knackered for quite a while afterwards, which I'd underestimated… No idea if it's more tiring if you get more but might be the case as the bone marrow has clearly gone into overdrive pumping out stem cells. So take it easy this week 🙂 not running around Xmas shopping… My mum was knackered too and that was just from being there with me!

Thank you all for your good wishes. I keep asking Frank if he's sure they said 7.2, he said 7.2 or 7.5 can't remember!!! So just to makes sure I'm phoning them tomorrow 😉

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and healthy happy new year
Love Jean xx

Dear Jean and Frank
Great result!:-) if it were not true they would bring him back tomorrow to have another go, and it doesn't sound like you have to go back? looks nearly enough for 3 there. Everyone is sooo different

Hi Helen

Thanks. Still don't believe it!! But consultant said that if got good harvest they would freeze but she said that because of his age (he looks young)!!!) 😉 but she didn't think that there would be another. Anyway hope this one goes well with as little infections and he has a long remission

Cough behaving itself??
Love Jean
