A very merry Xmas to you both.

You really have done v well. An sct is truly major, don’t underestimate the strength this will have taken. I hope that your day 100 bone marrows are clear, and I hope you both have as good a remission as myself, and I hope you both beat my 36 months.

Take things easy, and have a great 2016.

Mike

I had subcutaneous infusion of nozinan which worked real well, but did make me amazingly sleepy (a real bonus) . Don’t be afraid of asking for stronger and stronger anti nauseates as the quicker it settles the better.

It’s great that you are linked to the…[Read more]

I remember it well!
Hope all goes smoothly for you.
Keep posting.

I had sct 3 years ago and just relapsing.
BUT have had a fantastic last 2 years.

Keep smiling.
