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).

What A Drip


So after another 3000mg of chemo I am feeling fine but a little tired, think its an early night for me. The next step is the injections starting Friday. So if you were wondering what a bag of chemo looks like now you know (it is light sensitive so thats why it has it's black bag).

    Aha! That explains why when I go for my treatment, some people have a dark bag over their chemo. I thought it was because they couldn't bear looking at it! I find the best thing to help you over the tiredness is chocolate. Are you noticing a pattern yet in my medical advice? You just listen to me and you won't go far wrong.
