    Well he done it !! He has managed to get home after 7 weeks of all sorts of infection. They will see him in the clinic next Thursday and decide then when to do the Bone Marrow Aspiration then it will be discussed when Transplant will go ahead, it appears not to be the 9th of Dec now who knows when I suspect this side of the year though as he will need to have more chemo if not.

    Hopefully we will manage to get a decent…

    Pleased to say that Bert's Neutrophls are coming up thanks to the G-CFS  injections. However, his platelets are falling again now at 15.

We have a provisional date for Transplant which is the 9th Dec so he will be in for Xmas and New Year again.  But…

    As far as I can gather as they keep changing things he now needs more cheme as it is about 6 weeks away before he goes for transplant. However he can't get his week at home until…

    Claire really enjoyed the fund raising night with Ghosts and mediums and suchlike. Joni on the other hand said it was a lot of nonsense. But still I hope they have raised a good sum for Anthony Nolan Trust, I think they were pleased that Bert got a mention (not by name of course) but it was announced that he would be benefiting  from the funds raised as he is due to get his transplant in the near future. Bert still has…
