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).

Hair today Gone tomorrow
The time has come for the hair to start falling out, I was told on the 5th that it would fall out 10 days after the chemo, 20 days later it's on it's way out.
I thought you pullled it all out getting frustrated with my bad driving? when is it that they are next going to try harvesting the rest of the cells then?
Joke: A man was gardening one day and came across a snail. The man picked up the snail and tossed it away. A month later the man was inside his house when he heard a knock at the door. The man opened the door to find a snail on the ground. The man just stared as the snail said in an angry voice "What was that for!"
At the end of the day hair is only dead skin material. What the heck...you're a man!
You'll love Jersey - lovely little bays (steep roads back up for cyclists) & a big sandy one - St Ouen's. Our honeymoon was spent at the (appropriately named) "Bonne Nuit Bay Hotel". Diz had wisely booked it in the names of Dr Banyard & Miss Booth - every evening I had to endure the French waiters addressing me: "Sir and your...er...lady". I guess we weren't so "enlightened all that time ago... Look it out, they do/did a mean lobster.
Hope it comes back curly like mine did! How funny would that be? Little bit of advice, use a moisture cream on your scalp to stop it getting dry (I won't tell anyone).

ReplyDeleteGood to see Mike's jokes are as bad as ever.
