hello new life: begining of the end for son.....

Less than one minute read time.

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!

    Dear Laney,

    Still thinking about you and your Son, very much.

    You have so much on your plate, please look after yourself too.

    You sound like youre running yourself into the ground.

    I sincerely hope everything goes well for your Son, and hope the infected hickman line is just a small hiccup.

    With Much Love, Yvonne xx
