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).

All good things come to an end

After 6 weeks the razor is out again, shaving every 2 days, it was good while it lasted, maybe the hair on my head will start to grow too.

    Hi Ivan, hope you are keeping well and feeling ok. Just been catching up on how you are doing.

    Cheryl (my sister who you also taught to drive, many a moon ago!) got married two weekends ago, 2nd May, it was a beautiful day-just perfect! I was chief bridesmaid which was amazing. I have some photos of the day, I'll have to email you them for you to see.

    Look after yourself and take care,

    Joco :)x

  4. So you didn't need the false eyebrows after all? I know it's a bind shaving (well, I don't acutally but was just sympathising) but it is a good sign that all your little cells are renewing. You could always grow a beard!

  5. Keith, you must try it, lunch is generally easy and can usually be done without booking, evenings I would book to make sure. The menus are great for lunch time meal and very large off the main menu for evenings. You will love it.
