At the moment it’s just Stem Cell Collection. I got the call and nurse it’s a little bit more then yesterday. I didn’t ask probably find out tomorrow, I am at the half way stage now though. So fingers crossed hopefully tomorrow I can hopefully hit the magic 4 million they need. But I don’t want to get too carried away.
Yes just done the injections to grow the Stem Cells.
The injections are suppose to grow the Stem Cells.
It’s not easy for me at the moment. As you will now know I’m juggling losing mum and going through treatment regarding Myeloma Cancer too. I’ve been dealing with it since June and it does get tiring back and forth. It’s is a worry, I was talking to another guy today same condition He’s a little older then me and they gave him 2 years without the treatment. I think losing mum in August last year and being diagnosed with Myeloma in June as made me humble. I would want to be with mum and I guess getting the love from spirituality is maybe helping me a little to get through Myeloma. I have 2 fights on my hands and that’s not taking into account being on my own.

Hello,
I lost my dad last week and I am living in the house by myself.
I have family but they have not even offered to stay with me. They have come and done what they have needed to, but then I am left and it is really upsetting.
I also don’t work. I had a temporary job and haven’t been able to find anything. Money is tight for me as well as I now have all the bills to pay myself.
I have a cat and she is lovely, but it isn’t the same as having someone with me.

I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. We all know what you are going through so although you feel alone, you are not, we are here.
Are you close enough to your family that you can tell them that you don’t like being on your own? They are grieving too so they might not even think to offer to stay with you, everything will be jumbled up at the moment.
You should go to your local council or citizens advice to see what financial help you can get.
As for having a cat, mine is my rock, he gives me a lot of love and emotional support.
Make sure you look after yourself

Hi so sorry for the loss of you Dad, it’s very early days so just try and take care of yourself, as @Malcolm2 said everyone will be up in the air and at times family don’t do the right things they will be grieving too. My dog has got me through immense pain and grief at times and still does, but you’re definitely not alone on here. I can’t offer much advice regards money other than I’m not sure if a benefits office could temp help
Take Care Sara x
Sorry to hear about your loss. There are lots of supportive people on here who will understand just what you are feeling xx
I completely understand how you feel. A couple of weeks after my son’s funeral I was also left to get on with it. It’s when you are at your lowest and unbearable at times isn’t it? My daughter stayed the first couple of weeks after but had just bought a house and had that to sort out. I went to help her but coming back to an empty house alone was heartbreaking. I’ve had sisters and my brother visit but in total it was around 4 hours a week. It’s been awful to say the least, I’ve been completely desperate at times and have been very grateful to the people on here who’ve kept me going. Take care x
I’m so sorry for your loss. It must be crushing and I hope that you do find comfort from the community on here. With all good wishes that you may find peace of mind. Xx

I wasn’t staying in hospital, but sure felt like it. I can’t win hospital keeps me focused but at times it just feels too much and I’m glad to be away from it.

You can’t beat your own bed, sometimes no choice but to stay in though especially when your feeling groggy, they usually can’t wait to get you out
