I hope and wish you update from time to time this topic. I would love to hear where your journey takes you all. I am bit jealous too;)
in July I would have the chance to travel for the first time alone across the border, but from higher hand (cancelled concert) it's not going to happen. Sigh.

Bon Voyage  .

first transfusion planned for April 20 in Sabadell !!!

thank you Laura!

You're welcome.

I asked to one of the girls in Barcelona for another hospital in the South of Spain. She told me to contact the president of the Spanish association for details but she remembered there's thal people in Cadiz and Badajoz.

See you soon.

Kisses,

Laura.

best of luckkkkkk!!!!

It's good to hear from you. After this trip you are totally an European (with all that blood from other countries). I say this as a good thing.  Enjoy!!

20 april....first transfusion in spain...sabadell......wow! THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH LAURA!!!

now I'm in Calpe near Benidorm....wonderfull!!

I hope I will do next tranfusion in Sevilla....somebody knows anybody there?;-)

I was in Sevilla this February. Such a beautiful city, although I believe I loved Granada more. However, if my brains are working right at this time of the night then I would suggest you correctly to get not a guided tour in Sevilla but in Córdoba.
Enjoy!
*maybe I should to a Spanish course in Spain this summer*

Hello again!

There's nobody in Sevilla but I can tell you the name of the Hospital. It is Hospital Virgen del Rocío.


There was a child (Andres) who usually went there but he had a bone marrow transplant and he's not going anymore.

Have a look at their website and try to find their e-mail http://www.huvr.es/.

Kisses,

Laura.

The second transfusion is done!

I was not able to arrive in Seville for mechanical problems of the camper but I did transfusion in La Villajoyosa (Benidorm) exactly 20 days after the previous one! Perfect!

The transfusion was done in the emergency department , not in oncology.

Before the transfusion I had to do a chest x-ray and an ECG!

Now I'm afraid of the bill to pay!

This happens in hospitals where you do not know the thalassemia!

Now the journey begins again!

I shall reveal the information. He's coming my way. Hopefully it goes smoother here.

Feel free to email me any time.

4´ transfusion did 30/06/2011 in Stavenger, Norway!
Viking´s blood now!
now I come back to south of Europe...Danmark or Netherlands.....

Hi,
You are still welcome for a city tour by my thourgh Amsterdam. Oho, there I go again. I am battling an infection in my hips so my walking time and distance is limit. But my vacation just started. If you are feeling tired you can always buy a day card for the public transport (or one for 2 days) and took every possible line to a very end of the city. Be a little careful in Bijlmer. There are shopping areas and station of Ajax.

I hope to hear from you, Dori
PS Vikings blood is great!!
