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).

South Africa

It's been a long time waiting but I am now in South Africa staying with Renee my Sister in law and the Children Katherine and Myles (brother in law Neale is away but seeing him later in the holiday)
I have been here since Tuesday, I am picking Averil and Jess up at the airport on Friday morning and we are driving North to Kruger Narional Park, can't wait.
I probably won't get wifi at Kruger but if there is an Internet cafe I will update the blog otherwise it will be about Aug 23rd.
I know quite a few still read the blog but feel free still to comment, it's good to know you are there.
