I'm missing my lovely boy ..J,R,,

[Twinkly]

So I'm posting a loving thought ..just in case he gets connected ..to let him know I think of him every day !! Twinkly .. Xxxx

[JediReject]

Hey Twinkly my friend, by sheer coincidence I have just managed to get t'internet connection in here, dunno why it's a problem coz I'm 2 rooms away from my last stay when had transplant. Have to type quick in case it 'drops out' . .

I'm finding it quite tough going as they had to force my Sisters Stem cells to be one much more aggressive. In turn I now have Graft Versus Host Disease as the new cells ie graft battle what's left of me ie host. Unfortunately I have quite a hit of GVHD which is affecting ting my gut , digestive system. This isn't easy to calm down, but at least I'm eating a bit now. I have a rash over 60% of my bod mainly torso, back arms.

I need to get myself eating a meal and controlling my bowel before I can safely go home. . I'm still strong but I must admit my resolve is being tested, whew I am human !!

Like to say Thanks to all you guys for your messages of support and to you Twinkly for your kindness and caring way. . To you guys facing your transplant in the New or coming year please don't let my experience deter you in any way as we're all different, just think on its a journey not a race to the line. . Love to All . . Chris xx

Good to hear from you Chris, glad to see the digestive process looks to be improving.

I fully back up JR's comments about not being deterred, we're all different and so are our body reactions; I also had a SCT about the same time as JR and had similar GvHD setbacks but I am now back home and making the most of life as and when I can.

Merry Christmas to all.

Hi there JR glad to hear from you. You have such a strong resolve to beat this. And once again despite all the adversities you're encouraging others. You're an inspiration to us all. And Twinkly without your regular updates we wouldn't know anything. So thanks so very much. Janice

[piggie50 in reply to JediReject]

Lovely to hear from you Chris, you're such a genuine person. Keep going and stay strong.

Hey Chris, well you are really being put through the mill but you will get through it my brave Jedi. In spite of your troubles you are still strong and positive and inspire us all. You are going to have to replace the reject in Jedi reject you are a true Jedi, a brave warrior. Glad to hear from you again and hope you get home soon. Take care and keep on trucking, luv and best wishes to you and your family. Lizxx

[jeanr in reply to JediReject]

Hi Chris: I went looking to see if there was any news - and I was glad to find a message. It looks like everyone else was waiting and wondering too what the latest news was. I can see it not great but its not terrible. I'm sure you will turn the corner soon, and be able to go home. It must be hard to be patient, but you've come through so much, I was totally amazed at how well you were doing, so by my reckoning you're in the home stretch and the winner's post is in view, you've just got to hang in, and you'll soon be in the winner's circle.

With all good wishes, hope the internet co-operates a bit more. Jean

[babbittybumble]

Yes Twinkly that is so true. JR, if prayers and loving wishes could do it, you'd be a well man now. Wishing you a peaceful Christmas and the strength to get better soon. Also blessings on your sister for her very special gift to you. Sending love in buckets.❤

Hi Chris -if you can see this- I've been missing you too and you are in my thoughts so often. Sorry to hear the female software is causing you so much problem! I hope Santa comes and brings you some better health so you can get home again soon and be with family. We are all rooting for you as you know. Sending lots of love, good wishes and cyber hugs, Jan

Thank you, Twinkly for your posts too which never fail to be uplifting - and I need a bit of that too right now but I have a very special Christmas to look forward to. I will meet my first grandchild, who was born in the USA, for the first time and I can't wait! Xx
