Back to reality

Ellen's bone marrow transplant will start on Monday. This will take a minimum of six weeks and initially involves very high dose chemotherapy for a week. Her stem cells will then be given back to her via her Hickman line. This whole process is very high risk and we have been told that Ellen will become extremely unwell throughout the procedure. We are all (apart from Ellen who remains her cheerful self) completely terrified. We will keep you posted.......
