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.

Had a very bad week!...
I came back into hospital with sickness and i now have a hospital bug and the cmv is back. The bug i have contracted is highly contagious and is not very pleasant. It is called clostridium difficile and you have to stay in isolation until it goes so that the whole ward doesn't get it. The cmv has come back quite high so i started treatment for that last night. I saw a pyschologist today because the doctors are worried about me as i have become very quiet and withdrawn this week and usually i crack a few jokes and i am sarcastic. I have literally done nothing since been readmitted as i have lost interest in everything so i just stare at the walls all day and look forward to sleeping as it is the only time i can escape my 4 walls. I am trying to be a bit more upbeat but it is very hard at the moment. Sorry i didnt have any happy news to post, hopefully i will soon.

ReplyDeleteI had AML and was your age 5 years ago when I got diagnosed. I know what you're going through, but believe me, even when you feel at your lowest ebb, you'll recover. Just bear out the infections, medication etc. There's a lot of success stories these days, and I know you'll be one of those. chin up ;)
