Imperfect 10: a defiantly different decade

My relationship with diaries is a troubled one (erm, happy belated birthday, everyone!), but a growing number of dates have been sticking in my mind. Back in March I celebrated my first second birthday, a year after my stem cell transplant. A few months later, as I celebrated my 33rd birthday and fourth wedding anniversary, I … Continue reading Imperfect 10: a defiantly different decade

Expectation management

Last time I posted, I was approaching my first second birthday – one year post-transplant – and somehow we've got to more than 100 days since that, given that it's over a year now even since the momentous Day +100 that confirmed I was on the right track. For the record, the birthday celebration was … Continue reading Expectation management

Day +362: You’re only one twice

Everything's relative, and it's fascinating to compare the 101 days that have flown by since I last posted here to the critical first 100 days after my bone marrow transplant – which took place just under a year ago. Life's been turned inside out and upside down, but somehow we've bundled through it all and come out blinking at … Continue reading Day +362: You’re only one twice

I’m living life because I’m alive (woohoo!) – despite the best efforts of cancer. At the end of October 2005, I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, at the age of 23.

Since then, I’ve recovered (2008), ‘survived’ (2013), relapsed (2013), had a stem cell transplant (2014) and recovered again (ongoing).

And I’m still here, thanks to amazing medical staff, bacon sandwiches, wonderful friends and family, my fabulous wife Mariacristina, a handy preference for taking things as they come and my superstar donor Tim.

A lot of it’s here, but I’d love to tell you more – I’m a writer and a speaker and love to share my story, so get in touch if we can do some good together.

The whole shebang, by date
