I had clinic yesterday and we found that my chimerism for T cells had
gone down to 56%. Luckily my donor has agreed to provide more cells, so
these will be harvested on 11th Sept before a fresh lot is given me on
the 12th. This will be a small amount, and the rest will be put on ice
for future use. Rosalind had 5 or 6 top ups.
The
process is much easier for the donor, as we only need T cells which he
will have lots of and can be harvested in minutes. And I need no
preliminary chemo or anything - it is just like a small blood
transfusion and should take 20 minutes or so.
Apart from that we are both feeling reasonably well
A
friend, who is on azacitadine and doing well, went out for fish and
chips at a local restaurant the other day. It was a beautiful location.

Tomorrow the family is all going to the New Forest for a week's holiday.
