Friday 15 April - a week of ups and downs

On the up side:
I had the last dose of cytarabine for Consolidation 3.2 and will finish the tablets that go with it on Monday
My neutrophils have remained safely above 0.5 so I have not yet gone neutropenic (with all the dietary restrictions it brings)
My niece came up from London for lunch on Wednesday - it was lovely to see her and hear about what is going on in her life
I bumped into a fellow leukaemia sufferer that I was an in-patient with back last August and he has had a successful bone marrow transplant (with a donor from  Germany who was a 10 point match!) and was looking really well


On the down side:
Yesterday my exceptional colleague David MacKay died of his stomach cancer.  Read about him here http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/5-000-raised-memory-Cambridge-engineering/story-29116531-detail/story.html
