Thanks for your new year wishes, I hope it will be a good year for you too. Im almost 6 weeks post transplant now and doing really well, just attending the hospital for weekly blood checks at the moment, everything went according to plan and I was able to come home on day 14 after transplant.

Just wanted to say your hat arrived and my husband brought it into the hospital for me, thank you so much, it fits perfectly and I love the colour, I've been showing it off to the nurses here and all are suitably impressed. I wear it with pride and it will be nice and warm when I get to leave here and venture out into the…[Read more]

I've just been reading your daily accounts of your SCT with great interest as I am now on day 13 of my own transplant. I've had the really sore throat though no mouth ulcers, sickness and diahorrea. My blood count has made a big jump from yesterday and I am no longer neutrophenic. The above mentioned symptoms have all gone and Im…[Read more]

Im now at what they call day 0 in my transplant, I got my cells back today, which went very smoothly thankfully, I've been having a difficult time with nausea so they've sorted me out with a pump for continous feed of anti sickness and its working great.
So its onwards and upwards now, will be waiting for the blood counts daily and…[Read more]

Yes I have my laptop and mobile internet all sorted for my hospital stay. I'm very interested to know how your feeling now after your transplant in August, how long did it take to get back on your feet?

Thanks for your kind words, I started out on the VAD treatment but was allergic to one of the drugs so was changed to VMP.This worked very well for me although I started to get some periphal neuropathy towards the end, nothing too bad though.Will keep in touch re progress
Regards
Frances

I was in your position in April of this year, feeling well with my only symptom being rising paraprotien levels, I chose to have chemotherapy and had four cycles which wasn't too bad at all, I didn't have any significant side effects except for reduced energy, I've had my stem cell harvest four weeks ago and am having my…[Read more]
