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).

What A Difference A Year Makes

Its a year today since I first went into hospital and was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer.
Thanks to everyone who has helped and supported me/us. Thanks first to Averl, Jess, Joyce, Ann, Mick, Fran and Rach who have all been my major support, Avi has been fantastic. Thanks to all at St James' and Mary Mags for your continued prayers and support. Thanks also in a big way to the rest of our family and friends in the UK, South Africa and around the world and to anyone who has looked at this blog and thought about us or even joined the bloggers.
Where would I be without the national health, thanks to all the doctors, nurses and any member of staff in Royal Liverpool Hospital, especially all linked with the transplant unit, especially Edwina, Sarah and Jamie.
To the future.

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of
    any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.

    I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
