My name is Lauren Hards and i am 20 years old. I am currently living in Newmarket which is in Suffolk. I have a rare type of leukaemia called CHRONIC MYELOID LEUKAEMIA. I was diagnosed with the disease in September 2008, however I recently found out that I am going to have a Bone Marrow Transplant at the end of 2010. I am doing this blog so people can follow me through the transplant and to try and get more people to donate bone marrow.

No Joy yet at getting on the radio!
Well i have contacted a few different people with my story but not heard a thing back yet. I did think when i spoke to Cambridge radio the other week that they were interested but not even had a email back to say that they are considering a chat with me which is a shame cos i do want to fulfill my aim and dream of making an impact on people's lifes and getting more BONE MARROW DONORS. I want to hear back from a radio station or a newspaper before i go into hospital cos i think that then i will feel like i am not making a prat out of myself when i make videos of myself cos i am dreading talking and how i look being caught on film . However i am going to film it because i really do hope that people on here will actually find it interesting and useful and i know that it will help me to not shut myself off from the world and sit in my bed feeling sorry for myself everyday. I will have a reason to get out of my hospital bed and do something productive. i have already reached my target of 1,000 blog views already and i haven't had the BMT yet, so that is really amazing and i thank everyone who has taken a minute to read this blog. I want to make people proud of me not sorry for me as this is not a 'i've got cancer please feel sorry me' blog it is a blog to tell my story and as i have already said to do something productive whilst i am isolated from the world (you can feel sad for me if you want though lol as i do at times as well, i just dont want people feeling too depressed when they read my blog that is all hah).
