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).

Harvest is a moveable feast
Been for more blood tests today but as expected there aren't enough cells yet. Had another injection of growth factor today and more tests tomorrow. Wednesday, Thursday of Friday were always the expected days for harvesting so watch this space.
You looked really well today - r u reading this or r u still in the car-park talking to Mr C??
Fingers crossed for a good harvest?? then we can have a festival or summat?? Hey I think ive hit on a plan there, I do think its been used before just can't think where!!!!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxx
I was in doing a bit for Annette today and she was asking after you and sends her love.
As a farmers daughter, I have to point out that you are very late with your harvest and if you plan to make a go of farming, you really need to get your act together! Still, if you get it done by Friday, you should be ok.
I'm doing lots of positie thinking for you and have got everything crossed twice!

Oops! That's 'positive' thinking.
