SCT Success Stories

Good morning Sheri MissSatomi - it’s now the day after the night before!!!!  

Based on the fact that it’s two years until the next series of Line of Duty starts - you can have further words with your Consultant 

Hi Mike! 

Indeed I shall, fella, indeed I shall!  I'm not planning on floating up the Lagan in a bubble any time soon, so they'd better follow the treatment protocols to the letter.  To the Letter! 

I've got news for them: I'm not going to miss series 6 either! :D

Bump for those looking at a Stem Cell Transplant.

Bump for those starting the Stem Cell Transplant Journey.

A good ‘bump’

And news too; daughter and her housemate drove the Scotland north coast 500 and got so fed up with wet clothes (and a wet dog too) coming south again, they ‘just’ drove right home! A 12 hour journey.....but she said they wanted to get dry and enjoy the couple of days of sun we are still having here in the south before starting work again!

Ah moomy, the positives and negatives of the North Coast 500.

On a good trip this is what she could have seen.

..... but she may have missed this sign at the border 

....or as us Scots see it...... 

Hahaha, I know, Mike! One of her photos shows the 7 month old pup enjoying walking up a hill on Skye, the next him being carried down wrapped in a survival blanket against the weather!

i used to climb a lot on the Lakes and often joked about seeing all 4 seasons not just in a day, but in a couple of hours! 

However, she has admitted to saying ‘Wow’ an awful lot!

Beautiful photos of the North Coast 500!  We did it a few years ago: flew into Glasgow, train to Mallaig, over the sea to Skye and then picked up a hire car.  Up the left-hand side, over the top and back down to Inverness. 

We were blessed with fabulous weather (it was 30 degrees on Skye one day) and clear views across to Harris and Lewis.  

Stunning scenery.  This country of ours is so beautiful!  Glorious B&Bs and the best seafood I've ever eaten.  Ah...scallops...whatever happened to them? Sigh...

Another milestone today!  Dance has always been my preferred form of exercise.  I was still doing a ballet class only 2 weeks before I was diagnosed with AML!  Not strong enough for ballet yet, but I went back to my first tap class in 3 years this morning!  A small class of four of us.  A fast class, but I only needed a 5 minute rest halfway through, so more progress.  I am supposed to do load-bearing exercise because my bones have become soft with a year of steroids. 

Well done in getting out and persevering, you will totally feel the benefits over time.

There are a number of things that mean so much more to us after getting through SCT and one is visiting the West Coast..... we will fill a flask and drive over to Gairloch to have Fish and Chips and wait for the sunset.

The first picture above is looking down Slioch to Achnasheen towards Loch Maree.

Amazing sunsets up with us the past few nights.

This was Loch Ness last night (not my photo)........ just wow.

We are so luck in the UK with some wonderful scenery and amazing weather (sometimes!) 

I think you’ve had good weather up in Scotland ever since daughter decided to leave, Mike!
