Nice letter

By the end of the two weeks the nausea wears off and the tiredness tails off too. And you begin to think - yup I can handle this. Then a letter from a consultant haematologist drops on the floor and reminds you where you are. My risk to TA-GvHD is now life-long. Sorry? You wot mate? I have to carry a little card around with me. This says that I have to have irradiated blood if i require a transfusion - otherwise I am at risk of Transfusion-Associated Graft-Versus-Host Disease. This is my second card - the other one speaks of chemo treatment. And it will displace a second credit card.
