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).

Label

At the moment I find it hard to lift and carry, we are being sensible, Averil keeps an eye on me and does most of the lifting and carrying herself. For instance we were at the dump the other week, Averil was getting heavy bags from the boot and I was sitting watching. Today we went to B and Q for fence stain, Averil carried a large tub of stain and I walked along with a paint brush with people thinking "lazy man".

I feel that I need a label round my neck saying "cancer, can't lift or carry" Mick says I should have one saying "Lazy Male Chauvinist Pig, live with it, she has to".
