Bone Marrow Transplant day - minus 4

Hi all

Well I am now half way through the chemo in preparation for my transplant on Thursday. I have found it much more difficult this time, more side effects which has meant I haven’t been able to do much. The regime is really gruelling, I have been hooked up to drips of every kind for about 8 hours a day restricting movement as well as making me feel poorly. They also wake you up in the middle of the night for observations and to hook you up to yet more drugs. Some drugs have made me light headed and others have given me the runs which is not nice at the best of times and almost impossible when you have to take you drip and all its equipment with you!



I am in good spirits and trying not to think about the true enormity of what I am going through. I am taking one day at a time and dealing with that as well as looking forward to going home at the end of it all.

Any news of the outside world is always appreciated, but don’t expect a personal return unless I am feeling up to it.


Regards
Roz
