Hi there,

Sorry you and your wife are having such a  touch time.  I didn’t have the delusional symptoms when I had my autoSCT but it very much reminds me of when my Mum was in hospital having a hip replacement.  She caught a simple urine infection and it caused her to be totally delusion, refusing medication not reckoning people.  It was very sca…[Read more]

Hi Jane,

Thanks for the tip on vitamin B and folic acid, I think I’ll give that a go for my PN which isn’t painful just a bit numb at the moment.  I’d read conflicting things about ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) and didn’t want to risk it just yet.

Hi Jane,

Hi,  Would like to give a big thumbs up for the Beatson Centre in Glasgow where I’ve been getting treatment. Excellent team there, doctors very good and clear in discussing treatment, issues etc at clinics.  I had SCT in the transplant ward and the full team were great, only issue was the food …. not good 🙁  Also they have a Maggie’s centre th…[Read more]
