Ooh that's so soon, how exciting! So if you end on Black Friday, when do you start?

I had Campath as part of my transplant last year. It was kinda strange, the first night I had a tight chest and breathing problems (fixed with a nebuliser for a few minutes), the second night I had a really itchy, full body rash from it (easily fixed with IV piriton/hydrocortisone), and the third night I had a comedy sneezing fit (fixed, err, only by my fiance and mom laughing at me and taking my tissues to the bin!). And after that, nothing at all... But the transplant nurses were saying that everyone had different reactions to it and they couldn't predict what would happen, so fingers crossed you just get the itchy rash or nothing at all!

And I just wanted to say how nice it is to have nurse specialist on email - both my pre- and post-transplant nurses were always on email and it makes it just SO convenient to pop over questions as you think of them.
