Hello all
For all you wonderful people who have followed my threads over almost 3 years and given invaluable advice, I just want to let you know my wife was re born yesturday with her Sisters cells. Now day +1 and doing well. Started today on ciclosporin to suppress her immune system. We are well aware of the long long road ahead but following her conditioning and transplant, she is feeling OK with nausea and diahorhea her only issues.
She was given an anti sickness injection day before transplant and had severe hives immediately, unbelievably after one Piriton tablet they completely disappeared within 1 hour, very odd.
Expecting her levels to drop rapidly in next 2 days so will be aware of things that may/are likely to occur.
We are currently staying in the hotel for Ambulatory care patients just round the corner from the macmillan Cancer Centre at UCLH. we are however expecting my wife to be transferred into the main Hospital unit within the next 2/3 days as infection risks increase. That's when I will have to leave her and head home. TBH I will feel much more comfortable in the knowledge she is in the main unit with help at hand immediately should she need it and,she feels the same.
So far, so good, praying all continues well.

Update
My truly amazing wife is coming home tomorrow to start her long road to recovery. I am so very proud of her.
I will continue to update all you wonderful people who have shared this experience with me on her continued progress, thank you very much for all your kind words and help along this journey so far.
There is obviously a very long way to go and I will do absolutely everything in my power to keep her safe and well.
To all those of you going through your own personal battles I wish you all the best of luck and continue believing that you can do this.
Kind regards

First check up after discharge and doctors are very pleased with results no transfusions required and even state after next check on Thursday this week, if all still good may only be required to go once a week as opposed to every 3 days neuts up to 4.6 all other bloods excellent. Quite amazing as only + day 19.
