That's great news mate. I won't pretend the actual numbers mean a great deal to me yet, as i've not been working in Pathology for long, but i know they're going in the right direction.
I take it you're waiting for a transplant? Are they able to give you any news on the prognosis for that? </BLOCKQUOTE>
the current plan is to get as much use from the current one as they can. if things continue to improve as they have that could be literally years away so no immediate concern at the moment altho just a month or so a go it was very much priority. they reckon the best plan is to go with a live donor (dad or sister) and so that will be the next step but the longer it can be put off the better obviously. from 2 potential family matches they think its highly unlikely one of them wouldnt work out just fine so really could be a lot worse.
so yeah, really positive news for once which is nice :thup: </BLOCKQUOTE>
Has your lifestyle been changed much, diet, alcohol etc?
