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).

Water water everywhere

Seems as though we have been here before. From Friday I have to drink 2.5 to 3 liters of water per day ready for samples and chemo, have been to hospital for a 24 hour sample bottle for Sunday (sure you can work the size out). Anyway I saw the nurse for the bottle and she recognized me and said "You're-In next week" I replied with "No, ur-ine Sunday" ---- sorry, the jokes don't get any better.

    Glad to see ur-ine good form. I love the urine joke. There are so many instances in which you can use it and I intend to do just that.

    Tom is home at the moment and sends his best.
