Exactly one year ago today at 4pm I had my bone marrow transplant. It was bone marrow rather than stem cells from a 31 year old American. Its been quite a hard journey but definitely well worth it as today I am feeling quite well,dare I say it almost normal.I still have a few niggles mostly skin but I am off all medication and hopefully returning to work at some point in the next few months.
Thanks for all your advice everyone and to those starting this journey it is difficult but well worth it.

Well done Mike, one more step in the right direction.
Yes, unfortunately a stay in ICU can happen so they need to have all the ducks lined up before they press the green button.
But enjoy the rest in the sun and eat well and build yourself up.
Well done Mike!
Really hope an ICU bed won’t be needed though, infections will be your biggest risk.
