Living with leukemia

A blog about me living with Leukemia (or Leukaemia, both spellings are correct). I want those who have or those who know somebody with Leukemia to know they are not alone. And maybe they might take away something good from my blog. Please click on an ad or two as the money generated will help pay for the transport costs to and from the clinic, which currently run at 30 to 45 euros every time I go. Any extra money left over at the end of the year will be donated to a Leukemia charity

Clinic visit.

Just come back from the doctors. He is really happy with my test results, and I didn't have to have the dreaded bone marrow test. But I will be having it on the 15th May. So good news the treatment seems to be working well.

Clinic again, and good news

I went to the clinic and the doctor is really happy with my progress. So much so that he didn't want to do the dreaded bone marrow sample. But I will be having the bone marrow sample taken next time, which is May 15th or so.
Good news that he is happy with my progress.Mind you I have been having a few crappy days, and do find I need to eat on a more regular basis. Also I need to eat breakfast. Never used to but find it helps. Probably need the energy levels.
I am still trying to take a small nap in the afternoon, but sometimes its ends up being a sleep of a couple of hours.
So will be off to have another major blood test in April, this is the one that looks for the Philadelphia chromosome. Then the dreaded bone marrow sample.
