Hi All

Welcome to my blog, as most of you know I was diagnosed with Bone Marrow Cancer in July 2008, after 6 months of treatment with Chemo and Steroids my cancer has reduced tremendously, I have now had a stem cell transplant which will keep the cancer dormant for longer, my stem cell treatment started on January 5th with Chemo and I had the transplant in March. I am now home but having to take life very slowly while my cells build up, I will be back to hospital several times over the next few months for blood tests and treatment.
Please feel free to pass this address to anyone and to add comments and join in to help keep me sane (or is it too late for that).
Thanks to all at Royal Liverpool Hospital who have made this year possible, and to all the staff who have worked so hard to eventually harvest the cells and the wonderful staff on the transplant unit, A special thanks to Jamie who is as daft as me when I need humour but an absolutely fantastic support from day one (shame he and most of the staff support LFC but I can't hold that against them).

Bad Hair Day

I thought I was having a bad hair day!!!!
We took this photo at Risley Moss on Saturday but couldn't identify the bird, we emailed friends and family for help, we had several suggestions but no real idea. A Prof friend of my brothers is an ornithologist and he has come up with the definitive answer, I have posted it on the comment section.

  1. The photo is of a very very sick Robin and I cannot see it lasting long. On the face on view you can see a few red breast feathers and side on it has the wing/tail structure and plumage. I have No doubt about its identity but it really is not well! It may only be surviving on the basis of the food put out.
