Rebate, You mention no travel insurance. Well there are travel insurance companies out there who will insure us. I started off cruising with exclusions from insurance only to read the small print that stated you had to have inclusive travel insurance, bit more expensive but not too bad. I'm in Dubai at mo for 2 weeks,…

Hi David, I'm 5yrs, 6 months post Stem Cell Transplant from my brother & it is definitely worth it. If I told you I was sitting up in bed in sunny Dubai whilst staying with my friend of nearly 40 yrs, you' d probably be surprised. All I will say is that 'they' do know what they are talking about & you'll only get all those…

Lucky to gain remission on first attempt. 6&9 chromosomes had changed places so worst prognosis for future, referred to Southampton for stem cell…

Hi Heather & Diesel, Well like I said previously my 'normal' is actually better than my pre AML normal! I haven't experienced GVHD & at 2 yrs asked what that would mean. My consultant said they didn't really know. I'm still here & extremely fit & healthy. Stamina - this gradually builds up. I remember coming home &…

Nice to swap chat with you Petervee & Jayne. I was allowed to fly to Portugal at nearly 3 yrs, fly to Barbados & cruise the Caribbean 9 months later. I never thought I'd do that pre-illness let alone post! I cruised for 28 days from Chile to Sydney last February, cruising past Easter Island, the Pitcairn Islands, calling…

Hi Petervee, I'm 5½yrs post STC from my sibling & life's good. Think this site will prove interesting as I don't know anyone else who's had a STC & sometimes you feel a little 'out there on your own'!

Hi Everyone, I've just logged on for the first time, after a little hiccup that the team have sorted for me.
