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).

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.

    Thanks Ivan. I think there are people praying from here to John o Groats! Keep 'em coming. There are 3 tumours on my brain which have travelled from the Breast Cancer which advanced 2 1/2 years ago. So they are different from Brain Tumours in as much as that's not how they are made up. Does that make sense?

    Although what I heard was bad, the treatment I am to receive is the very best I could hope for and even though it is new to me, the Neuro Surgeons doing the op are very happy to do so (that's what they tell me anyway!).

    I WILL be back blogging soon, meanwhile, I appreciate all of the support fellow bloggers are going to give. Thanks. xxxxxx

    Thanks for the update Di
    wherever they are from they will be no more soon.
    The treatment you will get is the very best and you deserve the very best.
    Look forward to your blogs when you get home. Might even give you special editor rights on my blog ( oh and lots of chocolate).

    Keep smiling, it's worked before. XXX
