I thought that i was going into hospital on the 5th of February to start my treatment. Well the hospital rang me this morning. Asking if I would be prepared to start the treatment on the 29th January. One week earlier.
Wow, how things can move, so next Thursday I will be admitted to hospital for four days to undergo extensive high dose chemo........... Red cross parcels gratefully received.

New Year, New Treatment
Not much has happened since I last posted. My CTD regime ended on the 19th December to enable my body to rest. On the 5th of January I agreed to let them insert a Hickman line into me, after having problems at hospital getting blood out of my veins.
In February I start the road toward Stem Cell Harvest, with a four day stay in Hospital from the 5th. The 10th sees me start a daily injection of growth hormone and the 16th I have the Stem Cells Harvested.
Another chapter in my treatment is starting, but I have to take encouragement from this because if the last regime hadn't worked then I wouldn't be this far forward. Onward and upward my nan used to say.
