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).

Braai

I am feeling a lot better than I expected to at this stage, I am listening to my body and sleeping during the day when I need to.
I set the Braai going again and cooked outside, the food has to be cooked really well because of bacteria so thats what we do.
The last few days have been great with the lovely weather, enjoy each day.

    I need the hat to protect my head seeing that 90% of my hair has vacated my head, I don't need head and shoulders any more, just a good polish.

    Lookin' gud! Don't forget to moisturise your head, we don't want that flaky, dry look do we? Well I don't anyway, don't know about you.

    Must go and vote. Now, what shall it be??? Wish I'd mentioned Caramac before now. I'm with Andy regarding the Double Decker too. So much chocolate, so little time!
