Hi everyone.
I was pointed to this group by mike thehigghlander following a question on a different blog so a big thank you to him.
This was just to say hello and give you a quick introduction to myself.
Im a 38 year-old bloke who lives in East Sussex with my wife and two young children. I was diagnosed with myelodysplastic dysplasia syndrome that quickly became AML in December last year(2018), following two rounds of chemotherapy i had a SCT from my little sister (who will never let me live it down
). The transplant was a success and i am now just over the 100 day post transplant point.
Following the transplant i suffered from mucositis and fatigue,thankfully the mucositis was short lived! I still suffer suffer with fatigue and tiredness but it is getting better. I still need occasional red blood cell transfusions too.
I am now in the process of getting my fitness back, i am a postman so was monstrously fit before my illnesses, now i am out of breath climbing the stairs! So if anyone has any tips or advice on getting fit i would be grateful.
Well,thats me in a nutshell
Linton
Good to see you have found our little corner Linton.
Thanks for putting some info in your profile - it helps a lot....... I had no idea about the cell harvest my brother was going through so I said I would give him £1 for every cell he gave me....... he now lives on a Luxury Yacht in Monaco.....
We are around to help you out as best as we can and take some time to have a look through the threads I gave you the links for.
