26th May - 79 days post transplant

Don't panic Mr Mannering, don't panic is the order of the day. Sorry for the late posting but have been waiting until I could get Friday's results from Addenbrookes. These show a slight fall in Haemoglobin, neutrafils and platelets but I am assured that this is within limits and no call for concern. Bio-chem results are OK.

75% of the way through the first 100 days yippee, but in 21 days a bone marrow biopsy and bone sample awaits. Oh joys!! I'll be lighter on my right hand side due to bone loss!!

Metal taste is starting to decrease, but still problems with my stomach and retching over some foods. I am still loosing hair and also growing it at the same time. I think we may still be in a negative hair loss overall.

Discovered that even covered up I cannot cope with the heat. My preferred time of day is now at eight in the evening sitting on the patio, but darn it I just dont like the taste of beer!!!

This week has been a special week in more ways than one. I had my first "real" day out; as opposed to a trip to Addenbrookes; when I went to Huntingdon to celebrate Tizzy's husband Chris's birthday which we celebrated in an Italian restaurant. Meal was booked late so that the restaurant was virtually empty I manageed 75% of a white bate starter and 50% of a massive pizza. Then Chris and Tizzy  broke the good news that a baby is on the way and due in December. Oh I do feel old!!! Sex as yet unknown.
