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).

Echocardiogram

I have been to hospital for another Echocardiogram, it was to check after the fluid on my lung. All seems to be ok and the fluid has cleared, the radiographer was happy with the test but will compare with my last one.
I also had blood tests and they are fine, the neutrophils are 1.2 from 1.00 so are creeping up very slowly.

    Great news. Good to know it was an infection rather than anything else and the antibiotics have sorted it out.

    Had my 37th Herceptin on Wednesday. I hadn't realised I had had so many. £1000 plus per treatment, but I'm worth it!

    Keep take.
