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).
I'm afraid Diz & I will be taking Kate back to Sheffield on Sunday so we won't get the chance to catch up face to face. She is due to sit her written finals this week (scarey, I know, & possibly as bad as stem cell harvesting, from my recollection!).
I thought the website below may be of interest to you. The 'Back Friend' that it advertises is really good and can be used on most chairs and in the car. It supports all of your back and enables you to still sit in your favourite chair in comfort. I have one and my Dad used to use one too. http://www.gbdriver.co.uk/acatalog/back-friend-orthorpaedic-driving-aid.html
Hope you are feeling as good as you sound. Take care mate.
