18 month Update on MrLISAD123

[lisad123isgoingcrazy]

Well 18 month has gone by and thought I should update again. Sorry to say we had a call today to say DH drugs arent working We were so hopeful, but seems its slowed to a stop in battling the cancer in the blood
We are due to go and see specialist on 4th Aug, but could mean next step is Bone marrow transplant, so anyone not joined please do. DH will have no family matches.

I'm so sorry to hear this Lisa. Unfortunately I'm not able to donate bone marrow or blood. I hope you can find a match soon.

So sorry to hear the news I have just doen the online thing and I am unable to donate either

So sorry to hear this

Dh and I are on the bone marrow register. I hope you find a match.

Bump...

So sorry to hear this.

I though I'd signed up to this when I was at University, but I have rung and I am not on the register so have just signed up.

I will badger DH to do the same.

Hope your DH gets a match very soon if the consultant decides that is what he needs.

thanks everyone

sorry about your DH, will check out the register

So sorry. Am pregnant at mo so dont think can sign up but will once Im not. Will tell dh too.

Have joined the Register so will await my salivia kit arriving!!

I can do it so am just about to sign up too. Will ask friends too when I see them.

The form didn't ask me this but as someone mentioned drug allergy, does this mean that me being allergic to penicillin will be preventative?

Gosh, forgot to offer my sympathies to you LisaD

Another one who has been inspired to join the register by your thread. I have just finished signing up, so await my saliva kit!

I wish you and your DH all the best.

Im glad, heres hoping DH wont need it but atleast someone will be helped.

You might have already done this and / or it might not be your thing but have you thought of setting up a page on facebook? Just to raise awareness?

Oh Lisa, so sorry, this has kcikstarted me to go on the B and donate platelets which will be hassle for me but r4eading this shows how worth it it can be.

You can sign up now, waitingforbedtime -- you might well not be able to donate while pregnant but they don't seem bothered about it for going on the register.

excellent thanks

I have a blog, that I have had from the start www.12hoursmakesahugedifference.blogspot.com

which is linked to my FB

My saliva testing kit came today, and I've spat in it appropriately and sent it back!
