donate It is now exactly a year and a month ago that I learned from my leukemia and emergency hospital had moderate to indent the island. On 3 November 2006 I received the new, donated stem cells.
It is now time to write down some words of thanks.
I want to thank all professors, doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, etc., who took everything from a medical point of view in order to secure survival and helped me regain my quality of life again.
I want to thank also my friend Bettina, pursued all my family and friends, but also to the many unknowns that regularly my blog have written and are for many encouraging words. This support gave me the necessary support and confidence.
Last but not least, I am incredibly grateful to my unknown donor stem cells. With his selfless stem cell donation, I got a second life. Without a donor, I would most probably not live more or a lifetime depending on the chemo. His healthy blood stem cells are my only hope of cure, even if they still have trouble to make friends with my body.
At this point, I appeal to all blog readers aged 18 to 45 years to consider not whether they would be willing to let typify and also somewhere in the world to give a person a second life. are side effects for the donor is no practical. Interested parties can obtain information on the following pages:
www.blutstammzellen.ch / www.dkms.de / www.svkmt.ch can, but also appeal directly to the blood transfusion service in Bern under number 031 384 22 20 and you register for an admission interview. So I will explain everything and you can still decide for or against. Of course you can also call me or my parents.
Do not worry, all will be removed only blood, no bone marrow from a transplant is now possible only with blood.
Only a few details about my current health status.
For about a month I am now at home. Once a week I need to check into the hospital, where I am treated by Prof. Betticher. The control is great
monthly in UNI's Hospital in Basel (Prof. Grady). I'm still quite weak and a little unsteady on his legs, but with physiotherapy and self-discipline, I can get it done already. prepares
problems me the diminished saliva production (only 20%) does especially when eating and kisses;).
with unpleasant rashes I'm also still struggling. Unfortunately I did two weeks ago still get shingles, but, thanks to very strong agents, slowly brought under control, but because I have the funds available for one week only almost slept.
For the "specialists" among you, I mention my current daily chemical cocktail: 3 Rapamune 1mg (immunosuppressants), 3 Becozym forte (vitamins), 2 Valtrex (against viral infections, the time of the shingles 6 / day), 2 Ursofalk (Regulates the bile), 1 Nexium 40 (regulates the digestive system), 3 tablespoons of Benefiber (dietary fibers regulate the digestive system), 3 times a week bactrim (antibiotics) and another Diflucan per week (fungal diseases)
As you I see X drugs prevent other diseases simply because I in my state would not survive more severe disease.
So now I have written back a lot. I look forward to the new gift
life and will get back as soon as new to report.
a nice greeting to all and also donates busy
Laurent
