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).

Antibiotics (Day 14/10)

Last night I was put on antibiotics through the drip because my temperature went up to 38.3, I have had 3 lots and they will continue for 48 hours. I didn't feel ill, I think it was Liverpool scoring in time added on that caused it.

  1. Or could it be the thought of Kate and I in our arch choc criminal outfits? No, well what about those scantily clad females in the magazine Mike brought you? You see, no good ever comes of looking at things like that.

    Start thinking cold thoughts, feet in a bucket of ice, lying down in snow, diet of lettuce for the rest of your life! Hope your temp comes down soon and you can continue to feel better.

  3. That's great. Must just have been a blip on the road to recovery. The good thing is that the staff are on it as soon as it happens and can hopefully nip any infection in the bud before it gets a grip.
