7th March - Still smooth air

Today saw the end of the chemo, so no more interruptions every 6 hours, only the 4 hour obs. Mouth and throat are still ok. Started on tablets to bring down my immunity level - I think I see storm clouds on the horizon!!!

Tomorrow sees the introduction of the new cells. Maybe this is the time to say that if you do not hear from me on a particular day it will be because I am just too ill to type.

A lot of bed moving around today. I discovered that you are kept in a single room up until you are considered to be about a week from discharge. I guess there is a good psychological reason for this as well as making best use of through put in the ward, but I do like my single room.

Same round of visits from staff.

  1. Hi John,
    we are still thinking and praying about and for you. Well done so far, we wish you a smooth flight for the actual transplant. Marie says she hopes its BA rather than Ryanair. At least the marrow is being upgraded.

  2. John, you've been a regular on our "peeps list" and we're continuing to pray for God's healing hand to smooth and speed your treatment and recovery. Anything we can do to help Mary?

    1. John, you have been in our thoughts very much today, we hope the first introduction of new cells went OK and that any turbulence is at a minimum. Love and hugs, Dick and Nina xx
