Hi Sarah

Hi Vicki & Colin.
Well Colin does seem to like that hospital food. From what I've read about SCTs you do spend you first weeks of "freedom" popping back and forth to hospital so I don't think Colin is unusual in that though his haste to get back was a little to keen. You must have gone through a wide range of emotions today but with that temp he…[Read more]

Hi Jean

I don't remember feeling sick after CTD but wasn't too good during and just after STC.

Whenever I felt a bit queasy I kept sipping soda water. It seemed to settle my stomach.

It may help Frank.
