Stem Cell Transplant
Today is my first day of my stem cell transplant procedure for my lymphoma (in Dallas). I'm quite content, I can surf this forum through the
hospital network and I am listening to Jo Whiley on Radio 1 through Sirius Radio (its time shifted).
I get 7 days of Super-Chemo which will kill my bone marrow (and the cancer) and then I will get my own Stem Cells infused back next week to repair my
bone marrow.
The drug in the brown bag is mixed with an alcohol solution so i actually feel about 6 or 7 pints in!

glad the sites keeping you amused , get well soon. We don't seem to hear much from you these days so keep intouch. Miss Whippy's mum is
enduring all this too, just got released from hospital 2 days ago, doesn't look much fun. You'll get though it, chin up, soon be doing
your car again

Best of luck to you!
The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make

No, Liam said that they're using his own stem cells.
Best wishes Liam!

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Friend of mine had Hodgkins around the time my son was born ......
My son is now nearly 19 & my friend (after 6months of Chaemo at the time) is absolutely A ok.
Very best of luck with it & I hope us idiots help to keep your chin up.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
