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).

Football

I have been to watch Warrington Town today with Mick and Martin, true to form Town had a good first half leading 2:1. The second half was a different story with the final score being 2:4. Some things don't change, still there is always next season.
As you know I have to stay away from crowds because of infection worries, we thought I would be safe with Towns attendance.

    Sounds like you've found a safe haven there. When I worked with the rugby league team I often considered that leaving at half-time would have left me feeling more elated for the week to follow.
    When are your next blood tests due (so we can think about you)?
    Enjoy the sunshine but eat the chocolate quickly...
