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 Today

I have been to hospital today for blood tests and medication.
All the blood levels are ok eventhough the neutrofils are again down a little but nor enough to be a worry.
Its all systems go for South Africa on 3rd Aug, I have been given enough medication to cover the unexpected and if that fails I have great insurance. (If anyone needs travel insurance for pre-existing medical conditions try FREEDOM TRAVEL INSURANCE they were great).

    Thanks for the insurance info. Everyone I have contacted costs more than the original holiday! Will give them a go.

    Hope you all have a fab time, you all deserve it.
