Well.... 24hrs after the Melphalan; at 5 o'clock (pm)Jules had her stem cells put back into her bloodstream. I'm not quite sure what we were expecting, but this was done simply by injection into the canula in her arm .... the whole thing took five minutes! ... and so it was in a way an anti climax .... and in another really good to see that it involved no pain at all .... the only side effect being that she smells quite strongly of sweetcorn ..... just like someone can after eating garlic!( this apparently is caused by the fluid the stem cells are stored in!)
So.... right now she still feels completely fit and healthy.... and hopefully this continues ..... Touch wood!
This blog has been created so that Jules friends can follow her progress as she is treated at the Royal Marsden in England, and also as a diary for her to refer back to in the future.

Hi Agnes ... no need for thanks .. and yes she's doing really well .. and remains cheerful ... by the way .... if you or anyone else want to send her a card or letter then you can always send it to my address in the uk... I'm sure you would know someone who has it ... she has no internet access at the moment ...
