Ooh you're having a rather similar regime to what I had!

I had a RIC MUD at Kings in July 09 (though I was switched to Prof Mufti from Prof Marsh after they added in the hypo-MDS assessment). Mine was a 9/10 unrelated donor.

I had Campath, Busulfan, and Fludarabine for my conditioning.

So are you going to be in the DMU at Kings? The mobile reception is really bad in there, but the wifi is great and pretty cheap (something like £12 for a month). Each room has an en suite and its own lcd tv on the wall with a built in dvd player, too. My view out the window was of a brick wall, but you can't have everything! The staff, nurses, and doctors there were all utterly brilliant. :)
