Yes Helen a complete bolt from the blue. Doing the blast of Chemo on Tuesday and then injections twice a day till the following Wednesday and if all goes well they will harvest on the Wednesday. No date for the cells to be put back as we were told that Leukemia and lymphoma patients get first dibs. It was quite a shock but we are seeing consultant…[Read more]

Helen thanks so much for the info. I am so glad that I posted my concerns on the forum as the replies, info and advice that I have had has made things so much clearer and put my mind at ease a little. I can't help but worry as my mind runs riot. The registrar had said that if he put the SCT of for a a time he may relapse andd then he would have…[Read more]

Hi Babs thanks for that. I am trying to get things straight in my head so I can give Frank Informed information. When I think of your post it does make sense to try and keep him infection free as possible. One of our sons tell s me that I am OCD when we have visitors they are made to cleanse their hands. I will pass your info on to Frank as it…[Read more]

Hi Megan and Ali

Hi Peter

Not sure if I am thick or what. Clicked on the link and it brought me into the site but can find no link to play the recording. I am very interested to hear it as Frank is going for SCT. Any guidance how to listen

Thanks

Hi Megan

iWeb we saw the registrar yesterday ( she wasn't the brightest tool in the box) but after she gave us the dates for chemo and harvesting she told Frank to stay away from people. Was Phil told this as well? We were talking this morning and Frank says he can't understand this as he is only having the one zap of chemo. Megan ani info…[Read more]

Megan, Vicki, Colin and Tom

Thank you so much for your posts I have followed SCT posts for some time but when it arrives on your door step its another story. Thanks Megan on the tip about bananas, I have started a note book. Hospital told us before harvesting for Frank to try and eat cheese and drink milk to build up calcium. My best…[Read more]

I can understand your frustration and anger with unprofessional "professionals". I hope that they get Henry's infection sorted soon. Frank was so illl last week and was told "we don't want you here if you are infectious". We had no idea if he was or what was causing it. I hope tomorrow that there is a great improvement in Henry and that…[Read more]

Hi Sarah and Henry

So sorry to hear that Henry is having such a rough ride. I cannot offer any advice but just thought that I would let you know that I'm thinking of you both and hope Henry starts to feel better soon.

Take care

Hi Keith

Thanks for that. Will remember but Frank hasn't started SCT yet, he's waiting for a date. He has just finished the CTD. He is really feeling rough

Keith hope your treatment works for you. Thinking of you
