Good news today, the scan showed no signs of cancer so I've got to wait a couple of weeks maybe more for the transplant specialist to contact me about the stem cell harvest. Things are moving forward.

I had a call from the transplant specialist for the dates for stem cell harvest it starts in 2 weeks time I'll spend a few days in hospital having more chemo(cyclophosphamide) with an anti body(retuximab). Then a week of GCSF injections which boosts the growth of cells in your bone marrow and disperses them into the blood so they can harvest them which will be carried out over 1 or 2 days. So this is the next step before the transplant itself.
