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).

Antibiotics

I have been to see my GP today and he is happy with my blood and water tests. I do have a water infection but that should be sorted with Cefalexin antibiotics.

Visit to the doctors

I was at my GP's on Monday for my flu injection (not sure if I should have the swine flu injection yet). Just to add to the excitement I also have a water infection, I have a doctors appointment on Friday morning for the results and for a health check.

Please all think and / or pray for Diane today as she is having her opperation to remove the tumour on her brain.

Diane

I know some of you know Diane and those who don't probably feel that they do because of all her blogging and support for me.
Unfortunately Di has had some bad pains and after several scans it has now been confirmed that she has 3 brain tumors, Diane has a large tumor which will be opperated on next Thursday and 2 smaller tumors that will be treated with radio X rays (not Radiotherapy).
Diane has been through a lot medically over the last few years and wins every time.
I know you probably don't all believe in praying, but a few words in the right direction will make all the difference at the moment.

4 Months

I saw the top man at clinic on Friday, he doesn't want to see me again for 4 months, in my eyes that says things are going to plan. I am still waiting for one blood result but with the other blood tests and my liver and kidney tests being good he doesn't expect any problems.

Blood test

I have been to hospital today, I have had all the results apart from the protein which takes a few days. So far so good, they are all in the acceptable area. Just waiting for the final one, hopefully Friday.

Good weekend

Have had a good weekend, as always at the moment I do feel back pain but I can cope with that with pain killers.
I laughed in the middle of the night when I tried to get out of bed, the only way was to swing my legs out and use the bedside cupboard to get up, once I was up I was fine.
If this pain is there for the rest of my life LONG MAY THE PAIN CONTINUE.
