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).

The Bathroom (day 6/2)

To complete the tour of my home we have the bathroom, shower, loo and basin, all nice and simple with a shelf full of bits and bobs mainly for oral care.

Last night about 10.00 I was in bed and feeling as though the steroids of the morning were really kicking in, so a quick check over with an anti-sickness tablet and a cup of tea and all was ok for a good nights sleep. Its steroids this morning and Sunday morning so lets get those doses out of the way and take it from there.

    Not bad. If was worth waiting for and I'm glad I didn't have a look on Wednesday.

    How are you feeling? You still ok? The steroids used to make me feel a bit hyper, difficulty sleeping and agitated (maybe that wasn't the steroids as I still feel like that now!). If you can get a good nights sleep it makes all the difference.

    You staying in again today? Me too.
