    Hi Vicki

    Been to see Dr Chown today she was very pleased with results so far and how quick it went. He is having his line removed from his chest later this week ouch! He tried a little weeding in garden with me Sunday but tired quickly. He wont go back to work for at least another month. I am fine thanks and I am working from home this week to see how he settles. I has a cold last week and guess what Geoff has it now:) Dr Chown took some swabs to be sure that is all it is he has no temperature.

    How is Colin doing these days? Maybe we should get together sometime when are you next in clinic?

    regards

    Thank you all for your good wishes. Although Geoff is home he is tired easily even a short walk makes him tired.

    Think Geoff's transplant went well due to his strength and fitness prior to diagnosis. He left hospital with a count of 6 they say once you hit 1 you can go but kept him 2 days after to be sure ok.

    Tom hope yours goes just a quick. One thing Geoff found was to ease his sore mouth he just used the old fashioned salt water mouthwash.

    will keep you all updated on his progress.

    regards

    Hi Vicki I got back from USA on Friday morning did not visit Geoff until Saturday as thought best to leave it 24 hrs in case of picking up a virus on plane. He is doing well he had to have some platelets last night and nurse told us tonight he is neutropenic at 0.1 said he will more than likely be in another 10 days he still has is hair! He has a sore mouth as well but not had tummy troubles yet!

    I am going in again tomorrow and going to purchase a parking ticket for the week as will be quite a lot cheaper than paying every visit as maybe there 3.30 -8.00 on bad days. Hope Colin is doing well.

    regards

    Hi Vicky & Colin
    Hope all went well today. Do you go to EJU?
    We are waiting confirmation of date from Sian.
    Geoff has also been seeing Nicky. he finds it really hard to accept and is very emotional all the time:( I just hope he will improve once the transplant is done.

    regards

    Hi Vicki & Colin
    Sian finally got back to us Friday afternoon possible transplant dated for 6th or 13th May ! She is going to confirm next week. However I go to America to visit my daughter and granddaughter on 20 May with my mum for her 80th birthday.

    Geoff is happy to go ahead sooner and his brother has agreed to see him through it if I am not here 🙁 Feel I should not go away but Geoff wants me to go still and its better for him to have sooner as his nerves are terrible at the moment very emotional 🙁 Will be good if they can do it so he gets out when I get back as I would not want him at home on his own.

    Will update you next week.

    How is Colin now?

    Hi Vicki

    it was just Dr Frewin told Geoff on Friday she thought we were leaving it to long to have his transplant in June! she really put the cat among the pigeons he was so emotional 🙁 I am going to call Sian Middleton Monday to see when it will be as we have enough cells. Did colin go back on any treatment after his harvest and before transplant?

    Hi Dai

    it was 3.5m in days after 4 days of GCSF injections they did not want to go for more as they were happy with the 3.5. Geoff was disappointed as he hoped they may have tried for 4-5 but hey enough for one transplant.

    Hi Megan & Tom

    thanks for your posts I will keep you all updates. I am Just hoping Geoff nerves will be ok when I am away as he is very nervous off everything at the moment. Its a shame we dont have a local support group he could go.

    regards
