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).

Results

I have just got the results. This morning the amount of blood required was revised to 3.5 units, they have collected 3.4 units but have been told that 3.4 will be ok, it just now needs confirming by the prof on Monday. Thanks everyone for your support. Watch this space for details on Monday.

    That's great news. I am back now from Anglesey. Good to know my Welsh prayers worked, which is a miracle as the only Welsh I know is nos star (probably not spelt like that, but I can only speak Welsh, not spell it)which means goodnight. Still, it worked. Just goes to show, you might not get the words right when you pray, but God knows what you mean anyway.
