Blastoise: Not related, but probably immature too...

I might get someone to find the exact link to all the info in my ‘understanding acute lymphoblastic leukaemia’ book, because it’s very informative and what I tell you about ALL will mostly be coming straight from there. But in the meantime, I’d better give you a bit of an overview of what’s wrong with … Continue reading All about ALL

When I’m especially weary, my vocabulary is pretty hopeless, and occasionally recently some of you may have had some terribly amusing conversations with me where I’ve either run out of words, or chosen the wrong one. I’m quite happy to blame the chemo (it’s a great excuse for anything…), but I fear it might be … Continue reading Not even omnipotent

Actually this is from his father, Andrew, who was with George today. George had his third dose of chemo today and is responding well without discomfort.

I’ll tell you what else is great: Freddie’s beautiful montage of cards on my bathroom door. I ran out of space to … Continue reading Freddie’s beautiful montage!

Before I write a bit about such exciting matters as leukaemia, life and peppermint green paint, the most important things I have to say is : thank you. Thank you everyone for sending letters, cards, messages, for phone, visiting, bringing things, lending videos and, in short, all the LOVE. I really and sincerely feel overwhelmed … Continue reading Right, first things second

Very few people read this blog anyway, but even fewer since I haven't updated it for ages. However, I am now being detained for 28 days (without trial) at St.Georges Hospital, Tooting. If you haven't already heard, I have acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)- apologies if that's a bit sudden. I have no internet access but … Continue reading This Blog may even become useful..!!
