Perecentage of Donor Bone Marrow

A few weeks after her transplant Roz's new bone marrow was 58% of the whole. The second bone marrow test showed it had gone down to 52%, so ten days ago King's did a special blood test that showed the % was now done to 20%.

As a result Kings will do a bone marrow top up from the original donor next Wednesday. Kings have enough on ice to do up to 6 top ups, and seemingly it is quite common.

It is just like having a blood transfusion and only take an hour or so as an outpatient.

So Barbara will take Ros down next week

Barbara and I went to a funeral of a good friend who died at 48years old after 7 years fighting a brain tumour - which came back. He leaves a wife and son aged 17.

Apart from that we are all feeling fine and realively up beat
