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).

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.
Thanks for your text about your proteins. Great news. Not good about the pain, but your here to feel which is definitely a plus.
Not the best of days for me as you know. But as my Dad used to say, "what can't be cured must be endured". So here's to enduring for as long as possible.........and pain of course!! xx
