Good to go..

Ellen's bone marrow aspirate is clear so we have had the go ahead for the bone marrow transplant to begin this Friday (3rd June). We are still in Bristol and will be until the end of this treatment. Ellen is pretty well at the moment. The bleeding she was having has settled and her temperature has been down all weekend. So, on Friday she will start seven days of high dose chemotherapy. At the end of this (10th June) George will have an operation to remove a large amount of his bone marrow. This will be given to Ellen via her Hickman line on the same day. We then wait for Ellen's bone marrow to become George's. Sounds easy enough but in practise involves too many risks to think about. The minimum inpatient stay is 90 days!! We will keep you posted.
