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).

Here we go again

Have been to hospital this morning for next weeks prescription and to sign chemo consent forms.
This next few weeks is a replay of the weeks begining 4th Jan, please pray for the same result with a least another 2.2 units of stem cells.

    How's the throat? It hasn't stopped things going ahead so that is good. Just so I get it right, is it time to start praying for a bad back again, for you obvioulsy, I already have one though I don't remember praying for it, wasn't you was it?

    Keep that chin up, especially when swallowing the bubbles!

    The throat is lots better thanks (it must have been the chocolate). The bad back prayers are needed for week begining 15th Feb, last time the harvesting was Thursday so Wednesday would be good this time.

    I would have thought the throat would have been caused by you talking too much!!! I will be praying for you on Wednesday as instructed!! All the best Ivan.
