Would just like to assure everyone, I’m fine, back home & managed to rebook a nail appointment, despite it being at the expense of catching up with a dear friend. All of which I had to cancel yesterday. Massage still to come.
It seems I had an adverse reaction to a drug administered for my hyperparathyroid and nothing to do with me “overdoing” it as some might have you believe.
Now I’m all transfused and ready to go (& taking precautionary broad spectrum antibiotics, just in case it was infection, which I know it wasn’t).
Turns out probably didn’t need the afore mentioned drug in question anyway because my calcium levels were fine this week. As I was not symptomatic I guess a little more investigation is required.
Now to get some sleep, as you sure can’t find peace and quiet in a hospital. (see above with sound).
Happy days xx

I was 21 and I was planning a wedding, buying a house and had a job interview for the job of my dreams on my 22nd birthday. You see I was being made redundant and had to find a new job by August. Especially with the new mortgage now. It was April. I worked for CML and my new job was a done deal. All I needed was a medical. And with that, just like that....my life was turned upside down and I was diagnosed with CML, ha ha, I know the irony. My hematologist had a laugh at that too. I had Chronic Myeloid Leukeamia, which was normally reserved for 70 year old men. Quite rare for a young adult to get, so how would they treat it? I underwent two separate trials until finally it was decided my best chance of survival (all be it only 50% chance), would be a MUD BMT (matched unrelated bone marrow transplant), now known as VUD Allograt (volunteer unrelated donor). I was told 21 years ago the chance of finding a match was 1 in 20,000 (and that is everyone was on the bone marrow donor registry). Scary odds. So being the risk taker I am I said "go for it". They found a match and that was my first miracle in this journey. The second miracle was, it worked - new blood type, two different DNA profiles and the miracle of medicine was reborn inside me. The third miracle is my son.
25 years on, I now face a new challenge. Breast Cancer. Certainly not the first person to have cancer, to have invasive ductile cancer, hormone receptive and HER2 +, or to even have a dual diagnosis. But this is not another Webiste about a cancer survivor, this is just my excuse to finally publicly write. Along the way I am hoping I can share some insights I have learnt over the years and at the same time, give you a good belly laugh.
