Welcome back Bridget. The silence has been deafening:-)
I am sorry that you have been poorly and that you have had bad news what a heartbreaking bummer. Stephen is in the middle of further RT for his spine and his pain has eased a little after his first zap so we are hoping the other 3 Zaps will help even more I do hope the same for you

Hi David
I am glad you are OK you maybe feeling like S**t but you will be amazed at how it starts to turn around. I really wish that I had kept a diary when Stephen went through all this first time round. Just a sentance every day would have been a good indicator of improvement.

Hi Sharon
Fingers crossed that it is a blip as David puts it. We were told recently by Stephen's specialist that allos are being used more and more here in England (following the USA I think)as the drugs for GVHD are so much better now

Good…[Read more]

Oh Donna
There is so little I can say, I am so sorry.
My daughter is called Donna.
I don't know if you are aware that the name Donna means lady.
I just bet that you were one very special lady in your dad's life.
Wishing you strength and comfort in the weeks to come

I think I forgot to say Welcome Home. I hope you are feeling OK and managing to eat. Don't forget the teaplate trick:-)
Tiny amounts of food are manageble and you will soon be doing an Oliver Twist and asking for more.
