Finally back home!
Final stem cell treatment went well, although I had an headache…It’s ironic that after my last treatment I encounted my first side effect.
On the final day we said our goodbyes, its a shame we didnt meet some of the people earlier because they semt really friendly. Set off for the airport at 9am. Very quick check-in process…. thats when things started to go wrong. We went over our baggage limit, a bottle smashed in the case (52% & very stinky!). Then borded the flight from hell! It was a local flight to Hongkong, the seats were very cramped & it was very warm. I felt abit rough anyway & when I borded the flight I had a banging headache and started vomiting. The airline staff were very good and lowered the cabin temperature, brought cold water ect. On arrival to Hongkong I soon realised that bording a 14 flight may not be a good idea. Informed cathay pathific staff and they advised me to reschedule the flight. The staff booked us into the airport hotel for the night. The next morning the airport staff met us from the hotel and escorted us to the medical office… I had picked up a virus. I was issued with a fit to fly letter and some medication. The airline then booked us onto the next flight and allocated us 2 extra seats which meant we had a full row to ourselfs which made the journey alot more comfortable.
Arrived safely in the UK. I just need to rest and take it steady. Hopefully a month down the line the stem cells will have kicked in!
