Well, after yesterday's little out burst I feel much better about things today. I went to the hospital to get some antibiotics for a little cough I have and spoke to some of the nurses for some stem cell transplant truth. I asked them directly if I'd be able to navigate myself to the toilet even at the lowest of points. It seems I will.
I did receive this information in an email yesterday from my oncology nurse though; 'The stay in hospital is usually 4 weeks for the stem cell transplant and usually it takes approximately 3 - 6 months to recover completely and have your energy levels restored.'
This is a normal person though. I am not normal and no chemo has ever held me back for long. I will be back on track in no time. Watch this space.

Hi Tom,
Just read a previous blog and realised it's your birthday today. So happy birthday! I know you're probably not having the best birthday ever (I spent my 27th birthday in hospital too) but hopefully you'll make up for it next year. Good luck with the latest treatment. Sally
