RELAPSE

Well, the air is blue. Many shades of it. Back to the box marked "GO" (and I hope another "get out of jail free" card). Really, really didn't want to be starting another blog. But such is life. Almost two years to the day since my first diagnoses. My head is just a torrent of clichés at the moment. Yesterdays low blood test result required further investigation - although I knew instinctively (but i wasn't counting chickens - well, actually I was, cluck bloody cluck). I had a bone marrow aspiration at 4pm and a phone call at 6.30pm which confirmed that leukaemia cells are back swarming around in my bone marrow. Many ****************'s and a lot of pacing around my sitting room floor, staring out of the window at the trees and sky. Life changes in a spit. I know scant information at the moment. Treatment will start next week. Chemo at Guys and bone marrow transplant at Kings. I think this will be tougher than last time. I have to go into remission. They have to find a suitable donor. I hope that it is all seamless. I am hoping to get a quick trip to venice to see Luigi in his new flat this weekend. Consultant has said I am still well enough to go - so maybe a little bit of sunshine before the gathering storm... I am rallying troops - as it really helps to have support and virtual contact. So please keep checking the blog. New name,"hairwegoagain" which seems very apt and thanks Aid for your quick thinking and inspiration. Couldn't face badhairday all over again! Though I am sure it will be. And it had all grown back so well too: Back soon.
