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).

Results

Blood results were good from hospital only the neutrophils are a little low at 1.1, the doctor is ok with them still being over 1.00, just looks like I have to stay off the salad a little longer.
Had a good stayover in Leeds, nice to get away for a change of scenary.

    Look mate, I'm not sure how much longer I can resist the lettuce. When I agreed to give it up in support of your abstinence, I had no idea it was going to be so long. I've tried other things like chocolate and more chocolate and I think I might be getting addicted to it. Not sure if that's possible. What do you think?
