PTLD- July- sept 2010

So 2 weeks after being discarged from cardiff my temp sores- and gets as high as 42.4oC thats 108oF. So i get admitted to Birmingham Queen Elizibeth hospital and they thought i had an infection in my hickman line (a way of giving drugs and taking blood without me being stabbed or give an canular). So my line gets removed, but my temperature still keeps rocketing! I developed Cedifficiel which is a really nasty hospital bug and they treat me for that, they then find an infection in my gaulbladder and began treating that, however i was still getting ill! So they send me for more ultrasounds and more ct scans and they find ptld (post transplant lymporeative diease) so im sent for a pet scan where they inject you with radioactive stuff- its really weird but it shows up everything in a scan. So i had 4 rounds of retuxamav to get rid of it- and my drugs changed. I then had another scan in septemeber in Cardiff’s new pet scanner to see if it had cleared- and it has so im back to being a normal transplant patient now- rather than one that keeps throwing up complications.
