Good luck Lottie!
I seem to be following you on this journey! I haven’t been given a definite date for my SCT yet, just to expect it from mid Jan. I had my 6 wk consultation just before Christmas and everything was stable so that was a relief. Got an appointment at the wig salon coming up. Can you, or anyone, tell me how you go on having the Hickman line put in? Think I’m more worried about that than anything! I was expecting to have a Picc line but was told that because my veins are narrow and blood trickles out of me (had to use femeral artery for harvesting), that this was the better option?
Thanks,
Liz

Hi Lottie
So sorry to hear about the stressful time you have been having. I had a successful harvest earlier this month and am now waiting for a date for my transplant which I’m aware won’t be until sometime in the new year. My worry, which I think Jane has answered somewhat, is what happens if my levels rise again due to a delay? I’m not on any treatment at all right now (I had 4 cycles of DDVT) previously. So would I have to repeat that and then would that delay the transplant further?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Liz
