Hi Carryanne
My hubby finished SCT in December. There was one month when both his feet and legs swoll up. When he phoned the unit they told him to go up. The doctor gIve him agood examination and sent him home. Eve told us to raise his feet and that seemed to do the trick. Hope things improve

Thanks for that Megan and good news for Phil. It's always on my mind and just wish we could get it started.

Hi Megan thank you for that. It has eased me a bit. I will definitely get unto Maggie / ellen. I am so worried – frank seems to be so laid back about the whole thing. I'm not sure what is going on his mind. It's because of the long wait – he has had time to think and he's getting info from a registrar instead of from the boss (consultant).

They will be putting cells back that have a PP level of 2 and that means he won't go into remission so it's not worth it. He rekons that is…[Read more]

Great to hear from you and what fabulous news 4.6 million. Good on you Pete. Everything crossed for 18th. Frank has been waiting since December for a date and nothing. I'm a bit scared that he might relapse before he gets a date

Dear Sal
So sorry that your dad has lost his battle with this horrible illness. I know it's difficult and maybe hard to hear but it is a blessing that as you say it was "short and sweet". To know that your dear dad is not suffering must be of some comfort to you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

Hello Maureen
I am so glad to read that Ian is progressing and glad that he may walk again. Everything crossed for him. When Frank was on CTD they had to reduce the Dex as he had bad side effects. Great to hear that Ian is handling it well. My very best wishes to you both
