Hi Cathy
Sorry I´m rather late in reading your post and am really sorry that you are feeling so worried – often it´s hard for those who have to watch loved ones go through this process.
It´s quite normal to feel rotten for a while I´m afraid but at least it´s making the cancer cells feel rotten too so it´s not all bad. I was really poorly with…[Read more]

Hi Paul
So very pleased to hear that you have had your STC and can´t believe they let you loose after only sixteen days – fantastic!

Hi Cathy
I had my SCT 30 days ago so still very fresh in mind.Your husband is in isolation(a single room) which is hard,nursing staff will be in checking but also keeping contact to a minimum.Try to see this as a good thing as it will help to keep infections brought in to a minimum in my opinion.My appetite took a noise dive after the…[Read more]

Hi Cathy

7 days into SCT,sickness is what you can expect,have they not given you books to read about the procedure????.
It is not very nice to watch,but your husband will come out of this ok.
