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.

Just seen my new baby cousin for the first time...
Awww Laizel was so cute i even had a little hold until she started crying which was the perfect time to hand her back to her mummy lol. Laizel was born on Sunday nite so i was really nervous about holding her as she looked so fragile. 'Laizel' means God is bountiful so she has a beautiful and strong name which is what i am sure she will be. Evie was an amzing foot rest for me today lol, i would like to add that it was her idea and not mine. I am actually very nice to her...most of the time. When we argue i always manage to come down to her level i am afraid to say lol. I am really missing Tom but he is working hard at the horse sales doing what i am good at...shopping! I will be reunited with him on Friday though so not long now and i will be excited to see what horses he has bought. I jokingly said that we should set up our own horse sanctuary for ex race horses lol. I have hospital on Friday for my weekly bloods to see if the hydroxycarbamide is kicking the white cells butt! I hope so as don't think i can tolerate a even higher dose. I am not sleeping either at the moment even though i am tired all the time. It could be the night sweats i guess or just my overactive mind keeping me awake. I had a lovely day with Corinne yesterday it didn't feel like years since we had last seen each other. I had a chicken caeser salad which i didn't eat as the lettuce was all brown n manky. A member of bar staff asked if it was ok and i expalained that i couldn't eat it because of my leukaemia. He offered to replace it so i just asked for a free drink instead lol. I guess stating i had leukaemia was for something good for once lol. I can't wait to meet up with Corinne again before the transplant as we had a rite laugh.
