I've had a copy of a letter from Prof. Cavanagh to the even more renowned Prof. John Gribben (and copied to Dr.Ch and Dr.Ku - my haematologist and GP). Basically it's a summary of my history and present condition with a recommendation to go ahead with transplant. So that's another stage ticked off. The trouble is that there's a very strong implication that we'll have to make another trip to London to see Gribben (hopefully a more productive one) before we get to the blood tests, lung function tests, and other stuff needed before we even get as far as the stem cell harvesting. Not clear as yet how much of that (if any) could be done at Springfield and how much would have to mean going to London. I'm starting to see why it takes a few weeks to get to transplant after the end of Cycle 4!
