Thanks to all

Thanks to all those who sent get well wishes over the past few weeks – I am returning to the blog temporarily to update, having just been ‘released’ temporarily from St James’ Hospital where my leukaemia treatment seems to be going well. In  my absence the team is doing brilliantly and has been strengthened by Julianne Hand who joins us to cover for Caitriona’s maternity leave from August as well as covering some of my work. More treatment to come and a bone marrow transpant if one is found so it will be late autumn before I return to work.

Lots of people have asked how they can help and there are two key things that can help people in my situation big time.

Firstly you can register to donate bone marrow

Secondly please give blood.  I need platelets daily to keep me alive right now so stocks need replacing!
