Had the bestest news ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The donor passed the medical which means the transplant will go ahead next week. I feel so so happy about this. However the radiotherapy  test dose i had at teatime has made me really ill so i couldn't crack open the champers when i got home : ( But never mind it will have done my liver good lol. Just chilling in bed with a can of IRN BRU and a tin of choccies to celerbrate instead. I will go in for my BMT on the 18th of November and will be in for about 6 weeks. The radiotherapy will be twice a day for 3 days and then once a day for 2 days. It is gonna be horrific to be honest and i will most likely get caterats (however you spell it). I will have to have a very healthy lifestyle after the transplant so i don't have a heart attack or get lung disease and my IQ may be affected as well. Not a lot of bad points huh. I would be suprised if my IQ can get any worst lol. I also read that a risk when having the hickman line inserted is a punctered lung but they do a x ray a few hours after insertion to check lol. The plus of all this is a cancer free life though if it does work so i am willing to suffer for a bit if it means a nice new life for me. I am allowed to take my own music with me when i go to radiotherapy so hopefully that will distract me, whilst i am laid in my moulded bean bag in the fetal position hah crazy stuff but very clever. I am goign to try and get some sleep now so Goodnight all.
