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.

Going home tomorrow...all been well
After another pucky start to the morning yesterday i perked up a for a little bit. Tom cooked a nice roast for lunch which i really enjoyed. I was getting fed up of living off sandwiches lol. When we got back to hospital in the evening i was in agony with my stomach...maybe it was Tom's cooking hah only joking babes. I couldnt take my meds and had to go straight to bed. I slept badly for the third night in a row as i am having withdrawl symptoms from my sleeping tablets. I will just have to put up with it until my body gets back in to a natural sleep pattern again. I wasn't sick this morning so that was a good start to the day, and Dr Cook was his lovely self when he came to see me. He said i have done really well and that i will be getting kicked out in the morning. I will go home on oral treatment for the cmv and will return to the ward monday for my cmv levels checking. I will then go to clinic on the wednesday for my bloods doing. Dr Cook reminded me that i am no longer under Dr Smith's care which is the only bad news of the day lol. Unless the CMV level is really high tonight then i will be out at some point tomorrow. I just want to add how amazing Tom has been these last 6 weeks, he hasn't seen any of his family over christmas and has spent a fortune to be at the hospital night and day with me so Tom we will spend next xmas with your family and i will look after you as much as i can next year, love me x x
