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).

Waiting game

I was really hoping for the cells today but it wasn't to be, the good news is that there was a trickle of stem cells today which is a trickle more Wednesday. Last month, the day after a trickle there was a flood so bring out the ARK.
I am sure you are all thinking what happens if they don't get them on Friday, SO AM I, it will be down to plan "B", what's plan B I hear you ask, I will tell you tomorrow.

    You won't need Plan B - just start visualizing those little stem cell fellers breeding up ready to emerge...
