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).

If you read the blog you will see that I have been advised to eat chocolate by Diane, I have had some Thornton's chocolate and feel much better, Diane is a fellow cancer sufferer so she knows what she is on about.

    Oh boy! When you take advice you really take it don't you? Thorntons! I told you it was good for all conditions. Trust me, I'm a doctor (and they said I would never amount to anything). Thanks for promoting my sponsorship again. I have raised £250 already.

    I will be away in Anglesey next week while we have the bathroom revamped, so don't think I have deserted you. I will be putting a word in for a bad back for you on Monday.

    What about your motivation - have you managed to get it to relax a bit?
