Remission (and Beyond)

Yes, I have achieved remission! Nice present for Christmas. However, the kerfuffle is not over yet. I go to hospital on 29 Dec for a single high dose of cyclophosphamide, wait a few days, and then do the stem cell harvesting. I will be in hospital for about 10 days, but will have the little netbook with me so I'll be able to stay in touch.

Wed. 13th. Came out of hospital on Friday, after a successful stem cell collection. Next steps are a couple of check-ups to make sure I am fit for the final stages of the treatment then, if all is well, back into hospital about 8th February for a really high dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant. Look like being in hospital for about 4 weeks.
