Update - anticlimax!

[Otterfield]

Hello friends, by now I should have been almost at the end of conditioning chemotherapy. However, after admission to hospital on 19th June I was told on the 20th that my donor has Covid! I therefore had to go home the following day. Luckily the chemotherapy hadn't yet started or I would have had to stay in.

It's a delay rather than a disaster but it's very unsettling after psyching myself up for a particular date.

The silver lining (trying to be positive here!) is that it allows time for my newly inserted Hickman Line to settle in properly, as it has been quite uncomfortable.

Now just waiting for my donor to have two negative tests and for a bed to be available (although I will now have priority).

I will update again when I finally go in.

Best wishes, Jennie

Covid has a lot to answer for. We will all be rooting both for you and also for your donor's double negatives.

Wishing you all the best, and your donor a speedy recovery.

[DottyDaisy]

That bug certainly has a lot to answer for Jennie.Someone on one of my Facebook hip replacement groups reported that she reported to the hospital, only to be told her surgeon had just gone down with covid.

O tempora, o mores !!

Think of something special you can do while you wait for that double negative. Hopefully not too long to wait.

[Hocus58]

Hoping for a double negative soon, wishing you all the very best.

So sorry to hear of your delays but pray all goes well and ahead very soon and that your donor is also soon fully recovered. It must be very frustrating when you are geared up for this to have this delay, but covid is still rearing its ugly head sadly which as we know is beyond our control.
