Quiet sort of day today. Didn't do a lot apart from take pills and read probably more than was wise about transplant and recovery. Side-effects from the mobilisation process (getting the stem cells out of the bone marrow and into the bloodstream) and the injections I'm going to have to give myself before the harvesting and the transplant start. Not to mention several hospital trips for tests etc. first - and if that means going to The London Clinic in Marylebone every time it'll be a pain as there's no very easy route there from here. It'll be bad enough for Sue visiting, we don't need to have to do that any more times than necessary.

Definite red hands this evening, and I'm now two days post-dex so that theory can be thrown out. The increased thalidomide looks a likely culprit, except no mention of it in the long list of side-effects.
