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).

Holy Island

The weather has been fantastic today, we left for the Holy Island of Lindisfarne at about 10.00 ready to catch the low tide at 11.30 to drive across the causeway to the island, we weren't disappointed, what a lovely area of Northumberland, Averil walked a lot and Jess walked and then went down to the water, I did a little walking but at the moment I know my limitations, I could drive up to the castle using my blue badge so that was a great bonus.
We drove on to Berwick and had a good look around the shops before driving back for a lovely meal. The good weather has made it a great day, let's see what Sunday brings.

Please have a look at our weekend photographs.
