Month: December 2014

Transplant is delayed until end of January due to the corded blood having some sort of mismatch. Fortunately it appears there are two more available, hopefully these don’t have the same problem.

It appears I am in remission aka the chemo worked.
The next stage is having a stem cell transplant. This will be happening on January 14. So, I get Xmas at home.

Now I am totally zonked.

Lots of waiting. The actual biopsy is quick.

Not much else to say except that I will enjoy my little bit of time out.

I will be out tomorrow regardless of temperature spikes. Of course, if I should fall ill it is a different story but I have not actually felt ill since the first 7 days. Since then it has been really annoying and frustrating temperature spikes.

Plenty of them now. Walking around outside enjoying shade…no sun as with my skin and drugs it is a bad idea. Still, it is great out here enjoying the signs of life and freedom.

Right wing watch

Which is good.  Might be out at the end of the week or monday afternoon after the bone marrow biopsy.

Dropping one antibiotic too. It may be causing the fever or some such medical thingy.

The dermatologists gave me a steroid to rub on my skin to help my antibiotic reaction itchiness. I rubbed it on my forearms and legs but it caused a bit of a reaction. Now my forearms are slightly swollen So much for that. A good thing I only used it once. What a cluster fuck of reactions (the swear word was for Franca).

The band are touring and I am going to miss them as I am in hospital.

The guardian newspaper sums it up nicely.

This fucking fever is fucking well fucking me off right fucking royally.

Hair is all off. Feels good. Might keep it off when it grows back as it is so easy to keep clean.
