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

Early Blood tests this morning and then a coffee waiting for results, all seems ok, am coming off some of the medication for acid but staying on the rest, giving the water tablets a little longer but they appear to be doing the job. I am having another echocardiogram on the 10th June just to make sure all ok with my lungs after the fluid problem.

    All sounds good to me. Please could you say thank you to Moira for me as she has sponsored my Race For Life. I suppose it comes as no suprise when family and friends sponsor me but when people I don't even know do it, it makes me feel all warm inside. Or is that just the menopause? No it can't be, because that makes me feel warm outside! Big thanks anyway.
