SKP

Yes, I'm an escapee. Home for a few days of respite while my counts continue their crash and then, hopefully, start their recovery. Have to attend Day Ward for reds/platelets top-ups and monitoring every two days though, so it's more like being out on remand.

That was the good news.

The bad news is that Chris now has to devote even more time to me, pulling in the tasks that the hospital staff would have been doing had I stayed in.

And when my counts have recovered, I'll be an in-patient again for another cycle of the same chemo.

No word yet regarding them finding a suitable stem-cell donor 🙁

As waiting rooms go, this must be the most colourful I've ever seen. It's like sitting in a huge bag of Dolly Mixture:
