At Kings they did not, in the end, do a top up stem cell infusion for Rosalind.
They had found that her white cells were increasing very well, and on detailed examination were from her new bone marrow - which is very good.
Her red cells are still low, and they seem to be mainly from her old bone marrow - rejuvenated a bit. They also have a high iron (ferritin) level much higher than mine - 2000. This high level will be OK for a while, after which they can get it down with the normal well trained leeches!
So they have taken more tests, lowered the use of certain drugs that could be inhibiting the new bone marrow and red cell production a bit and will see again in tow weeks
So overall it is good news
Ros and her mum then spent a few hours in London before coming home. It was nice as they met up with Ros's brother Simon and girl friend Sari and all came back down on the train together
