Thanks for the good wishes, Nigel got a phone call yesterday from the Hospital saying they have a bed yesterday he had to get booked in then he can go home and return today. As you can guess it was quite a shock but least he will be home for Christmas. Will keep you informed. Keep well.

I have persuaded Nigel to go for his SCT he has been given a date of the 29th November at the City Hospital, Nottingham. They have told him he may have to go back on dialysis, I feel really worried because he really didnt want to have SCT for this reason. But to me he is 51 yrs old and has a life in front of him
