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.
