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.

has had a merry little xmas afterall...
I had a wonderful day yesterday as i was allowed home for a few hours after my xmas dinner. I was like a big kid on xmas eve getting over excited which did not please Tom lol. I recieved a phone call from my favourtie comedian Bill Bailey on xmas eve so whoever sent him the letter about me thank you so much for making my xmas so special. We talked about allsorts of stuff for about 10 minutes and the nurses couldn't believe it was really him lol. Thank you Bill for putting a huge smile on my face. I woke up at 4am on xmas day but managed to go back to sleep til 7 and was greeted by a grumpy Tom cos he had a headache and a cold sore, boo hoo! I slowly opened my presents and did half then and the other half a bit later on. I got loads of nice stuff and i deffo dont need any socks or slipper socks for my birthday lol. The xmas dinner was a disappointment i have to be honest, and my body would agree with that staement. I have had a lovely homemade dinner today though so that has made up for it. I absolutly loved having my bath today i could have stayed in for hours if my skin wasn't so sensitive to the heat which cut my bathtime short. I have borrowed a coat off my nan as Tom's coat made me look like paddington bear lol. I will be heading back to the ward shortly but as long as my neuts are ok again tomorrow, i can cope with bedtimes been at hospital for now.

Hi Lauren i'm so pleased that things have been a bit better for you and that that telephone call did you so much good. Pity about the dinner though. Keep your chin up. I'm trusting that you are over the worst, and that this coming year will see you a lot better. Lots of love. xxx
