Wow it has been too long since i posted on here! I hope that everyone who has followed me and sent kind words over the last 12 months understands that i just needed a break from everything. I cant believe it has nearly been a year since i had my bone marrow transplant. I am doing really well and have recently heard the words REMISSION! I have got to be honest though it aint been easy and as you can see from my facebook page i am always busy but it has taken a lot of hard work from me to get to where i am now. About 6 months ago i thought my life was over and that i had nothing to give in life, i couldnt get out of bed and didnt want to either, i hated everyone and everything and i had no interest in anything. I think i have Tom my better half to thank for kick starting me again. He didn't give up on me and he somehow tolerated my even worst mood swings lol, he has treated me like a princess taking me to Royal Ascot and taking me to a dinner he was invited to at St James's Palace. I will have lots to talk about to Look North lol. I have also started horse riding again and have become a keen bingo player he he. Most importantly i feel human again mentally and physically, i no longer take my happy pills because i am happy without them. I have started the menopause so i will be on HRT Therapy for the next 30 years and might not be able to have children, but the hot sweats have gone now thanks to my HRT patch.
I want to do something special for my year anniversary on the 26th Novemeber so if anyone has any ideas please help me lol. I will update when i know about Look North aswell but i would think it will be close to the 26th November. Thankyou to everyone for supporting me.

ReplyDeleteHi lauren.
ReplyDeleteSaw you on look north 12 months ago. How time flies. Then again tonight. I was dignosed with myeloma 6 years ago. I have had 2 bmt's. The last one was over 3 years ago. I am living just about a normal life .... Apart from drugs and being tired at night ..... And you will too. Your attitude seems great and you can have lots of fun from this day forward. Keep strong .... Do lots ... But listen to your body ... And rest when you KNOW you should.
Sharing immense pride in whatbyou have achieved. Ian
