Friday morning we got the date through for admission for Bone Marrow Transplant, it is the 7th December. Now I have mixed feelings about this transplant. Firstly Bert needs to be in remission and we wont find that out until nearer the time, he also has to have a variety of tests on his heart,lungs, kidneys & liver oh and they also have to make sure he has no STD's or HIV..Before they do the Aspiration to find out if he is in remission.
They have a flat n the Beatson so I am going to try and book that and just stay off work as long as I can bearing in mind that I still have the mortgage to pay. I will be fine if I am not off sick myself. Anyone want some kidney stones I need to get rid of them !!!.
We have an appointment at Haematology on Thursday to discuss all these test then on the 26th to remind us how dangerous it is for Bert being an old man (at 57) to have this procedure done. and everything that is likely to go wrong. So it's all scary now.
Was really pleased for A&T and their great news, now they can get on with planning their wedding.
Love Teri
