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).

Barcelona

We are in Barcelona at the moment (Tue/Sat).
We are all capable of sitting around waiting for things to happen or we can make them happen, we have done quite a bit of site seeing with Sagrada Familia being my favorite ( possibly my most favourite building in the world). Back at the hotel now, I need a rest, (the walking stick helps but there are limits and I keep reaching mine).
If you want to do something do it and enjoy it, we are.

    Sounds like you had a fabulous time and I'm so glad. Depending on my outcome, I plan to be doing something similar, possibly with walking stick too! Scooters at Llandudno next. Look out on the promenade!
