Stem Cell Harvest ✅
16 March 2026
Hi everyone
March is multiple myeloma action month and in a week or so the Canopy Bridge in Whangarei will be lit red to acknowledge this.
This month has definitely been an action for us too.
We’ve just got back from Auckland where Mark got his stem cell harvest done. He handled it all like the true champion he is. There are now 5.5 million stem cells ready for his upcoming transplant. A special shout out to NZ Blood Centre and Domain Lodge. Wow! Such awesome caring people, services and facilities. We met others having treatment, shared stories, encouraged each other and built connections.
We are now planning for his longer stay of 3-4 weeks in hospital hopefully in May and with the upcoming school holidays just around the corner are looking forward to some quality time and activities with the kids before his transplant.
Thanks again to you all
