As you will have realised from the title, I have been discharged from the BHOC. This happened on Friday after a long and frustrating wait for all the necessary administration to be concluded. Margaret collected me and we finally got home (having collected fish and chips on the way) at about 6-30pm.
My discharge relied on me not having a raised temperature for at least 24 hours. I had been given a drug (Tocilizumab) which calmed many of the CRS symptoms. It worked !
During the last three weeks I have received what is arguably the most advanced treatment for myeloma. I cannot even begin to explain how important Margaret's support has been for me, and I have been cared for by a world-class team in the BHOC. I am now back home.
I am indeed very fortunate.
Keep safe, keep well
Stephen
