Hi Teresa.
My bone marrow test wasn't too bad on Tuesday though the doctor had to go in twice! My blood test showed I was Neutropenic so that meant I had to be careful and try and avoid people with bugs. Today I went for more blood tests and also saw my consultant. My bone marrow test showed my healthy marrow had been cleaned out, hence the reason I was Neutropenic, and she was hopeful my paraproteins had been hit too. So another nervous wait till I get the results of my paraprotein levels. As I'm still Neutropenic my socialising will have to be restricted for a while – I don't want to get an infection and a hospital stay! My next cycle of treatment has been put back a week whilst I recover.
I hope you had a great birthday Tuesday and your leeks do really well 😀
We have had a sunny week with the temperature in the mid 20's.
It'll be good for Peter to see his brother and sister in law and hopefully you'll all have a good time.
We are really looking forward to our break in the lakes hopefully the weather will be ok but if not we will just have to wrap up well and visit a few pubs 😉
Have a good weekend.
Take care
Love Andy xx

Hi Andy
So sorry to hear you were prodded twice for the Bone marrow bi opsie what a pain for you. Hope the procedure didn't cause too much discomfort.
When Peter had his first BMB it was done in the sternum! now thank gooddness it's in the hip.
Having really low white blood counts can cause all sorts of problems I am so glad you are just staying away from all germs. Mind you going to the hospital I am sure didn't help so hope you managed to stay clear and wear a mask? I think Peter had to be very careful even with bacteria in his mouth when he was neutropenic does that make sense?
Do take care and have a rest while you are waiting pp results and starting up your treatm,ent again.
Glad your weather is good and i hope you can pop outside to enjoy it while you are resting.
Australian guys only here for a couple of nights and to be honest that is enough we really can not cope that well with extra people in the house so much stress on Peter it really upsets his everything but he has to see his younger brother so all will be well.
Stay as well and rested as possible we don't want you in the rotton old hospital again.
Have a good weekend
Love Teresa.
