Awake and up all night

Will do Helen, as he knows yourself and a few others here. I'll ask his eldest, Mandy, to pass on your wishes xxx

I'll pass on your best to Eddie Ray, and similarly please pass on the same to Jane. Hoping they both get the help that's needed  xxx

Hi Ray,

Sorry to hear your friend isn't well Ray. And all the best yo Jane.

Hope they get better soon. We're thinking of you and are here for you xxx

It is probably fortunate that very few members actually know Eddie in person, otherwise his bed would be surrounded by well wishers all eating the grapes and chocolates they'd brought for him. I think an overdose of good wishes is permissible in the NHS. Crossing fingers for him. 

How are you today? Has it been a quieter day on the medical front? Best wishes and hugs for each step you take in your treatment path.  xxx

Thanks Ray. Fingers crossed out best wishes will get to him.

Been a bit of a sofa day here for me! It's tiring releasing stem cells into your blood!! Actually, my lower back was painful yesterday but not so bad today. Bone ache is one of the side effects. Injecting myself is going ok though.  I just wake-up early, go to the fridge and inject. Just don't think about it!! It's very quick!

Tomorrow, I'm off to the Royal Berks for the bigger chemo injection at 4pm. Not looking forward to that really as the last time I had a big chemo injection, I ended up in ICU. Hope this one is a bit gentler on me!

I've actually been contacted by the Uni of Reading's Recovery after Critical Illness Service to see if me or my family want any follow-up support. I'm going to take them up on it, see if there's anything they can offer us. You just carry on really,  no choice but it's scary to think of taking other unknown meds when you've had a reaction like I did. Happy to take a paracetamol,  but that's about it!! !

Evening Julie. Good luck for tomorrow will keep my fingers crossed for you. Hope everything goes well. Keep resting as much as you can sweetie. Sending love and hugs.xxx

Same from OH and me Julie, and all the very best and our love for tomorrow sweetheart. We'll be thinking of you all afternoon.

I've posted a message on the little group and asked Eddie's eldest to pass on your good wishes, as his girls keep us updated on how he's doing.

You take it easy tonight hon, and here they are ✓ but a bit later today. Warmest hugs and love xxx

Hope it goes well tomorrow Julie. Sending hugs xxx

Good evening Gill, Julie2468, Soc, Ray, and everyone else in this lovely group. 

Hope youve all had a nice relaxing sunday. I havent been very well last few days had a UTI and put onto antibiotics. Feeling lot better today.

Big hugs and cwtches to you all speak soon xxx
