Hi Maxine, 

My husband is 35 days post transplant and feels exhausted still and sleeps a lot.  You said your husband had his in the summer so that would be about 6 months ago?  Can you tell me when he began to feel normal?  My husband struggles to make one trip up the stairs and now six months down the line yours can go Christmas Shopping.  Wonderful, I long for that day!!!!  Absolutely fantastic news that he is cancer free now!!!

Hi Julia 

Nige went into hospital on the 28th July had his week of chemo stem cells were put back on the 4th August . He was quite ill for a week or so but staff said he was doing really well... then low and behold 12 days post stem cell they said he could come home he came home the day after ( 17th August ) we were so excited!!  He came home and did sleep all the time also the skin on his face went extremely dry and flakey . As for feeling normal he does still get extremely tired but alot of that is down to him doing too much when he feels well, ( he just wont be told )  I will say that probably by mid september to late september he was starting to feel half normal we even had a day at the seaside on the 1st of october  he was totally shattered when we got home but very happy.

We do take each day as it comes and tend not to plan things too far ahead as we just don't know how he will feel !!! 

Hope your husband starts to feel better soon and you can enjoy your christmas 

Love Maxine x
