We have been at Nottingham City Hospital since Sunday evening, Hamada has now managed to ‘harvest’ a further 500,000 Stem Cells on tuesday. We are not so hopeful for today’s collection as the count was down again – as it was on monday. They will let us know later on today, when lab reports are back. It has again been so stressful – not the lovely nurses – they always do their best to make you comfortable – but the waiting is just terrible. We have spent a total of fourteen hours this time, in the clinic over the three days.. ( we would wait forever -if they would just come out !! ) At the moment Hamada has 1,800,000 not quite enough for the transplant.
Thanks to all those lovely nurses, and in particular to Alison and Emma, in Clinical Haaematology- what would we do without you all. A Marvellous team at Nottingham City Hospital
