Hi All,
Just to let you know that I'm home, after 2 nights on Smithers Ward at the Marsden. Had the biopsy on Monday afternoon. I was terrified - really nervous of how much it might hurt. The lovely Fiona from Bud Flanagan Outpatients (my usual department/ward) came with me to hold my hand. I had to lie on my front and they used ultrasound to guide the dirty great big needle in, after putting in lots of local anaesthetic. The nurse said that it looked really painful and I could feel quite a lot of blood trickling down my side as the procedure was done. The amazing thing was that I could hardly feel it! I'm a feeling a little bit battered and bruised now and rather tired (coming off 4 days on Dex) after a couple of nights in, but I'm ok really. It's always the stuff that you worry about that's ok and the stuff you don't worry about that bites you hard on the arse!
Seeing the transplant consultant on Thursday, but don't expect to get any results for a bit, tho. Will update again when I've got news.
Just glad to be home!
A xxx

Hi Amanda

I had to take my blog private, http://managingmyeloma.blogspot.com/ but will get you added as a reader if you reply with your email address. As always, I appreciate the interaction and comments from people also going through it, but I also delve into some personal life stuff and the drama spillover from that is causing stress and I needed to protect myself. Hope to hear from you!
