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.
