Well today son started the chemo,GEMPLASTIN(?) which he'll have to have for next 3wks-once wkly, to 'keep on top of things', as specialist put it, until he's admitted at Uni Hosp Euston for transplant.

He'll be going in on tues 2/12/09 for 6wks-ish, for transplant of donated stemcells-donor has been found. I havnt seen transplant team yet to now how close a match it is.

Once admitted, he'll get the HEAVY duty chemo. This will stop his body rejecting new cells-he'll need meds to stop new cells rejecting sons body! It's gotta work-no other option-son doesnt know that tho....

Anyway, as said, he had 1st lot of chemo today-it's knocked him,he's asleep. I'm going to find genious invention-my bed, & get some kip myself!

I'm keeping everything crossed that it all goes well.

I hope this chemo isn't too hard on him.

You get all the rest you need too, you will need it.

Love, Christine xx
