Hi Julie and Happy New Year to you.

Well done getting through this part of the Rollercoster and good that the ice pops did the job.

You are now entering the post SCT recovery stage but one day at a time is a good starting point.

You may want to have a look at and indeed add to our ongoing Life after a SCT - A Survivor's Guide thread.

Hi Julie,

you’ve done well, an auto is hard work! Allow yourself time to recover, oddly taking a bit of exercise like a short walk helps fatigue (I know it sounds counter intuitive but it really does help!) the walks should be circular in case at any point you really feel you’ve had enough you can cut back home easily.

hooe its all helped and you stay in a remission now.

Hi Julie 

The marvellous Kings. My son was being treated there for 4 weeks from 25 August they were incredible. He continues his treatment back here in Wales.  He is due for his transplant start of February fingers crossed. 

Sending you my love 

Hayley

Thank you Moomy,

I’m going to try a walk round my garden today , I’m finding I’m suffering with dizzy spells when I get up and as I have completely passed out with this before I’m obviously nervous of this . 
I hope you are well. Xx

Hi Hayley,

I do agree the treatment is remarkable, although as often the case these days the staff are so overworked that these standard of care was not what it should be . 
I wish your son all the best with his upcoming treatment. Xx

Hi again, , 

that sounds a bit like a low blood pressure, I hope you stand slowly and stay holding onto something for a few seconds before you try to move? 

take care!
