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).

More Prayers

Last nights prayers worked and I had a bad back by 2.00am can we all pray as hard (or harder) tonight please. They managed to harvest cells today but not enough so another injection and harvest again tomorrow. If they can't get enough tomorrow they will freeze what they have and aim to do the whole proceedure again in a month to get the rest.

    The power of prayer! I'll be on my knees again tonight. We can't do much else to help you, but we can all pray. Good luck tomorrow.
