Hi Tina

Sorry you have had such a horrible complication. It's not easy this journey, is it. I'm glad you got such a sympathetic nurse to answer your call because you do feel alone don't you. Have they adjusted your doses? I believe you are on the 28 day cycle (I am on 21 day one).

I went to the consultant yesterday, for what should…[Read more]

Hi Dai

What is it about these infections that they can come on completely unexpectedly. I have every sympathy with you trying to deal with it with paracetamol although it is a complete no, no! If my experieince is anything to go by, being in a general ward will have not been a bundle of laughs.

Glad you are back home, if weakened, and…[Read more]

Welcome Rosie
Wow! you sound as if you are a real seasoned campaigner – after going through so much I can understand how you might not want to go through another STC – not much fun I do agree.

Glad to hear your coping with everything in such a brave and positive way – you must have picked up lots of information and experience along the…[Read more]

Hi Gail

Well I thought I had replied to this one?? might have gone into cyberspace?

So A Warm welcome to you and Howard, you have got the good group and you will find the folk on here very good for info and a cyber hug as and when (well even when you feel you dont need it) you need it.

Hi Vicky – that´s the very question I would like to know the answer to.
I have decided that because the cancer didn´t develop fully until I was 52 after my stem cell transplant in February it might take another 52 years to come back again!!!! (Well one can dream).
Please let us know if you do get an answer.
Cheers

No Problem Gail I think your very brave to be coping so well.
Take care of yourself too and try and have a little treat every couple of days – even if it´s only a chat with a girlfriend or doing your nails!
Love Carol
