Well, we are jumping for joy!! I don’t know if you remember, but last spring I wrote a blog saying I wouldn’t be on GoY as much, Ian had been diagnosed with a very serious condition, and we would be spending a lot of time at hospitals over the coming months.
About three weeks ago, he was admitted to hospital again for the last part of his treatment, this included having high dose chemotherapy and reinfusion of stem cells that had been harvested a month ago at St James’ Leeds. Just over a week ago, his blood counts began to rise dramatically, they were quite amazed at how quickly he was recovering, and last Friday, I brought him home. Today we visited the clinic, and all is fine, he will need regular blood tests, but in about 3 to 6months time, he should be feeling back to his old self again. Though he is very tired, we are over the moon at this good news!!….:o)))
Thanks to all of you who have been asking over the last year how things have been, all your good wishes have really helped in those darkest of hours…..THANK YOU xxx

That's brilliant! Recovery must be catching as we had a very excited phone call from Partner's sister yesterday saying she'd had a meeting with her doctors and they are immensely pleased with the way she's responded to chemo and radiotherapy and think that she's beaten it! I wonder if FINALLY a cure for this awful disease has been discovered? Lovely that you can bring your OH home. Best wishes to you both.
