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 relaxing day at the mint hotel with Tom...
Thanks to the growth stimulation injection i had yesterday my neuts were above 8 this morning (they had dropped to 1.5 yesterday) so that meant i could be released for the day again. It was snowing at the hospital so Tom asked the nurses if he could take me to the hotel in Leeds so that if the weather got worst we wouldn't be far away. They said no problem as long as i stayed away from people and wrapped up warm. I have spent most of the day in bed as i forgot how comfy they are compared to the hospital ones and tbh my body needed a good rest after having a busy weekend. I have had a lovely tea which has given me maybe just enough energy to get a bath before heading back to my overnight accomadation. I think we may come back here again tomorrow if the weathers the same cos it is a 5 min drive from hospital and the room has 2 tvs which is more than i have at home lol. Before i forget the CMV is still positive so will continue with day release until i get a negative (i hope on thursday) and you never know they might get rid of me on new years eve. I dont think i will stay up til midnight so i aint bothered where i am or what i am doing as long as i am snuggled up with Tom and got some good music on : )
