<p>it was 3.5m in days after 4 days of GCSF injections they did not want to go for more as they were happy with the 3.5. Geoff was disappointed as he hoped they may have tried for 4-5 but hey enough for one transplant.  </p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone</p>
<p>Harvest over but only managed to get 3.5 million but hey enough for one transplant. We were hoping for more 🙁 </p>
<p>Now for the long wait until 17 June to get them back. It would have been sooner but I am off to visit my daughter and granddaughter in US in May and Geoff agreed to have it done when I am back to look after him.</p>
