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).

New Nurse
After Avi painting the decking this morning the nurse thought it would be good to teach Jess how to check mum's blood pressure.
Hello to all 3 of you! Read your e-mail message out today at St M's & it was very well received. Everyone sends their wishes for your speedy recovery & you are assured of our continuing prayer support - of course! Diz was feeling washed out today - she always does at this point in the week as she tails off her steroids slowly. A fellow sufferer, of sorts... Have a good week - the Liverpool result will help somewhat I guess.

It was the Liverpool result that caused it. I feel better after the Man U result today.
