WooHoo Well done Slim thats the way to do it !! Worth being shattered for . Like you we have quite a journey to the hospital . as you say its cost as well as time so the team at UCH always try and schedule as many tests in one day as they can Although you get home exhausted at least you havent got to face it all again the next day. Well not too…[Read more]

Hi Eve,

How I managed to get through five full days on the harvester without needing a No.2 still escapes me. I am usually quite regular, (one of the things Janet found attractive about me when we first started courting – well, bless her, there wasn't a lot of choices) – I am convinced it was mind over matter (similar to miners who smoke a…[Read more]

Thanks Tom Eliz and Dai
It did take 2 days Tom as the first bloods came in at only 19%,the man next to Slim came in with88%,the first day they got 1.9,so Slim injected him self at 7pm and 7am,that seem to do the trick.4.02 overall .They rang up the same night each time to let us know.which I though was very thoughtful of them.

I have been…[Read more]

Thank you Jean… I will check the link… May 27th 2008… perhaps an update is in order but it is part of my plan to upload a whole album's worth of my all-time favourite self-penned/collaboration songs.;-)

The process was quite easy on this occasion.. Neil sent me his basic lyric… I 'tidied' it up, wrote the bridge and the main part of…[Read more]

Excellent news Eve & Slim… at last something positive has come your way… enough for 2 SCT's.

I started my harvest schedule with a squeaky bum… by the end of the week, after 5 days on the m/c and 2 midnight returns for Pleraxifor (sp) injections, I just scraped in with 2.1m… and I had to wait until Monday am to find out! I was so…[Read more]

Hi Andy
Sorry to here your news,this just might be some help to you!!!!

In the under fifty ,s there is a chap called Mike Barker who,if i am correct has SCT when his PP were high,again if i read about it correctly,he decided with his consultant to go ahead with SCT.
It might be worth checking his post!!! I do not think he has posted for some…[Read more]

What's your pp score Andy? Any movement at all since diagnosis? Have the medics indicated a figure for going ahead? Its good that there's no upward movement anyway… it sounds like your pp's need some sort of a kickstart in the right direction… perhaps you can get them to lick the equivalent of a PP3 battery.;-)

Let's hope the Rev & Dex…[Read more]

Good for you David… now put mm out of your mind until the few days before your next consult and enjoy your strength and health.8-)
