Somehow I have managed to get through another day. Bit of exercise, coffee at the friends; despite fever again mid afternoon.

Two separate doctor’s visits today. The usual mid morning one, and a 1 pm visit from Dr. Andy Clerk, which was most enlightening. Yesterday’s CT. Scan gave no indications of underlying infection. There is only one last thing to rule out and that involves changing the anti-fungial over the weekend. More than likely it will make no difference to the temperature, and so on Monday they will start to treat this as Graft vs Host Disease and begin a course of steroids. The result of the skin biopsy may come back next week too but it may be inconclusive. It will not necessarily prove GvHD is present, on the other hand, it just might.

  1. Well, I keep reading that a touch of GvHD isn't all bad. So let's hope that if that's what it is, it's just a touch.

  3. Well, Bruv, look on the positive side: at least now you’ve got time to catch up on your reading! You can listen to lots of wonderful books on the BBC iPlayer on your laptop!
    Keep your pecker up.
