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).

82 Not Out

Happy birthday mum, we had a great day with friends and neighbours (not that our neighbours aren't our friends), Averil did some fantastic food along with the help of Ann and Fran. We managed to sit outside all afternoon with the chiminea burning well. I know bad weather is on its way but thankfully it stayed away for today.
As part of my recuperation I sat and watched most of the afternoon with the occasional break to add another log.
Have a look at Joyce's birthday album.
