Hi neil. We only live a short bus ride away from king's so luckily my fiancé and my mom don't have far to travel. Though being Amercian myself, my mom had to fly over for the whole summer but luckily we've got plenty of room on the boat to put her up.
I think this transplant from the amercan (28yo male) donor is an attempt to make me even more American and take back my new and very hard won British passport !
so far I'm one bag of fludarabine and campath in and neither were too bad (I'm having a mini transplant since my counts are so close to zero naturally!). I had a bad headache, flushed cheeks, and some shortness of breath from the campath but that's it, knock on wood...
