WARWICK's ASCT Journey Begins Today...

Hey everyone...

As the subject of this Post is about Warwick's Allogenic Stem Cell Transplant journey, he will come back as he progresses through each stage of this journey to share the experience w/ ALL MPNers, who might have an interest...

I met up with Warwick & his partner Nina this AM, immediately after he had received his 'Heart PICC' the central line, as can be seen in the photograph...

Warwick is in very positive spirits, and two of his sons decided to show their support for their Dad (Warwick), by shaving their heads and doing some impressive fundraising for the Leukaemia Foundation, (naturally I've invited them to repeat those efforts for MATES too...)

Hence, if you have any questions or simply just want to wish Warwick well on this stage of his MPN journey, please Post a comment here, and I am sure Warwick will respond just as soon as he is able...

Thank you all...

Steve

(For Warwick & family)

PS. Please visit MATES to reply to this POST, and Warwick will reply ASAP

Hi Warwick.Hope everything goes well for you. Sending good wishes for a speedy recovery and also to your Partner, Nina and your 2 sons. God bless, Tina.xx🤗

Hey Tico...

Thanks for your reply...

I am sure that Warwick will reply as soon as he is able. Apparently, (so he tells me), he is not too computer savvy... But hopefully, during his long convalescence he'll pick up a few new tricks...

Stay safe & well...

Steve

PS. Warwick starts chemotherapy to knock out his immune system as of today, as I understand it, and then engraftment target day will be the 19th of February, if all goes to plan etc...

Hi Steve , , I can see by that pic that Warwick is well up for it and that's crucial. , at no time during my actual SCT did I doubt it wasn't going to be anything but successful. And I always tried to retain a smiley face and a sense of humour though here and there not easy. It also helps your nursing team spirits who have a hard job from start to finish. (Battling the GVHD afterwards was a different matter 😬)

I will visit the link and wish him luck.

Regards - Chris

Morning Chris,

Yes, he seemed in great spirits and keen to get on with the process after many hold-ups due to other related health issues...

As mentioned above, hopefully he'll take some time while in recovery to start using a computer, & then respond to everyone's kind messages of encouragement etc...

Thanks again buddy & take good care over there...
