Well after yet another sleepless night we made it to the hospital for Bert's Bone Marrow results, pretty much what we expected his Leukaemia is at 5% his Myelodysplasia won't get any better without the Transplant and the Leukaemia will just come back without the Transplant.
So Bone Marrow Transplant here we come, he is booked in provisionally for the 7th Dec so it looks like another festive season in hospital in solitary confinement.
To be honest it all gets a bit more scary from now on in the Dr's have to tell you all the pitfalls and they don't sound very good. We go to Glasgow tomorrow for a pre transplant visit to remind us of what happens and where they are with the donor.
The donor comes from Germany but that is all we are told so whoever you are thank you is not enough.
Will let you all know how things go tomorrow, On Friday he has to Go to Ayr Hospital to have his Hickman line inserted and Saturday back to Crosshouse as he needs a couple of units of blood.
His counts are quite low WCC is 1 Neutrophils 0.7 platelets 47 and Hb 9.4.
Onwards and upwards
Love Teri
