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).

Hospital Thu/Fri

I am at hospital tomorrow (Thu) for the Hickman line stitches out and blood tests and there on Friday for blood results and clinic, I have a tickly cough at the moment but not too bad, it's probably because the neutrophils are still low but will wait and see.

    I expect it was great for you to see me this afternoon! I must say, the Minstrels were a bonus and the posh coffee was delish. Thanks for showing me your machinery in the kitchen and also your extension. What an afternoon!

    Hope your neuts pick up soon and the cough fades away. You weren't dancing round your sombrero, drinking tequila or eating tortillas so I don't think it's swine flu! Adios amigo!
