Attended the Freeman Cancer Care Centre yesterday with baited breath! Low and behold they told me that they had a very good bone marrow donor and all we had to do was set a date - I couldn't really believe what I was hearing.
Obviously the risks are still there, and we'll have to manage them as and when they occur but for now the first steps in this process are good ones!
I hope to be in hospital at the start of August to start my conditioning before receiving the donor bone marrow a week later.
I won't look forward to being in isolation for 3-4 weeks and will miss my daughter so much it will hurt, but this is only a short term blip and we'll have the rest of our lives to enjoy together - will keep you posted!
