The important thing about holiday insurance is to ENSURE that your illness, and your medical history for that matter, is INCLUDED and not EXCLUDED. I have just met a friend of mine who gaily told me his insurance company had told him there was no extra charge for Bowel Cancer, I said that is not possible and when we checked they had excluded…[Read more]

Hi Carol, Again, sorry not a horse person.

I had my SCT in Dec. I started to have lower back pain about 12 weeks ago. An x-ray confirmed that is was my old, worn hips (which I already knew about) was the problem.

Hi Nicki,

I am about a month behind Sam, I had my STC early Dec, and I could take your post, alter the names and it would be the same for me, even down to the hair. My mousy brown hair is now black. Mo wants me to grow it a bit on top, I normally keep is short. I think she has got a thing about curly headed men (she has never mentioned it…[Read more]

I had dogs at the time. I was just about to inject myself when my Collie and Springer came bounding into the kitchen, distracted by the dogs I carried on with the injection but afterwards I just thought I did not have the same amount to inject. I think I accidentally squirted some out without realising it and therefore I only got a small dose.…[Read more]

Diet, if there were any special health foods that would help I think the "Docs" would have said. I certainly did not get any advice on it.

As for collecting the Stem Cells my first attempt was a dismal failure. I then had to wait about 6 months for a second go. I put my failure down to a mess up on the CSG(?) injections on the last night.…[Read more]
