I’ve now had 2 days of the chemo procedure and today is the stem cell rescue.
I will be having this over the course of 2 days. Golfing up well so far. Been sick a few times but expected this. Getting the cells back in is all i’m focusing on now. Deal with rest later.
The support i’m getting is great from family and friends and means soo much you can’t imagine. Naturally, my thanks to the staff also from tea person to nurse to doc. The doc hierarchy is amazing – registrar – what’s that all about!
Anyway speak soon – keep it real. Phil

Feels weird: being in hospital and fit and mobile.
However, under the skin and bone i’m not so good. I know this process is intense but I’m sure this is the right thing to do. As far as I’m concerned this opportunity will probably only happen once – to have a lasting period of no treatment. Clinging to the thought that the SCT works.
Staff are nice. Putting machine working well – keeping me busy! First dose of chemo later today – melphalan i think.
Let you know how it feels tomorrow.
Bye for now. Phil
