Well it's been a rough few weeks with, initially I went in to hospital to have the phosgarnate to sort out my CMV virus but that ended up wrecking my kidneys and keeping me in a while even though what little I had seemed to have done quite well with the virus counts. From that point I was was waylaid with temperatures meaning I was put on a lot of anti-biotics trying to get rid of whatever infection I'd picked up. Even more than that I started to develop Graft vs. Host of the Skin and Gut and which had to be treated with steroids as well, so all in all its been a tough few weeks but the Doctor's are all really pleased and its good to finally get the diarrhoea sorted and I'm feeling a lot better than I went in, specially my appetite which is good news.
My family and friends have given me a lot of support and its really starting to seem like I'm getting out the other end of the transplant properly, especially when I get some more energy and start to put on some more weight.

Dear Will, Pleased to hear from you, I thought perhaps you had been going through a rough patch. hopefully it is now onwards and upwards!! I am delighted you have been able to battle all this with your army of friends and family, I am sure they were all a tower of strength.
How have you managed in the hospital in the soaring temperatures? Hopefully it was cooler inside than out! I was working in London last week, it really was hot. Long days, even at 07:30 it was 24 degrees and most evenings 30 - 33 on the way home. I would rather have been at home where I could go to the beach in the vening with the dogs and cool off!
Is it Bristol Uni you are at? What are you reading, and last question, how did your exam (s) go?
Presume you are still in hospital, hopefully the G v H is under control, I understand a degree of G v H is not a bad thing, although of course it must be controlled. I am sure the steroids will help you put weight on !! :-)
So pleased you feel you are on the up, keep going!
