This is my 3rd thread as I go from a shock diagnosis of leukaemia towards what will hopefully be a cure.

Life is shit but I am strong and there will be happy times again.

It'll be hard biscuits, but you'll get through it because you're a strong woman, and the end result makes it all worthwhile.

Hope Baby R feels better soon. x

sending positive vibes through the ether to you and baby R biscuits

Clicked on your profile for the promised photo of Baby R and am now registered for Delete Blood Cancer! The pic is lovely and hope she is feeling better now.

Still here, thinking of you, but haven't posted in a while....hope Baby R is on the mend, and that this week goes well. Thanks

Allisgood1 · 29/09/2014 20:05

Also sent off my delete registration last week---how easy that was!!

Thinking if you biscuits. Thanks

Last day at home tomorrow. I think everything is sorted... even down to a homework timetable on the wall. Apparently the lovely donor has started their injections and all is going to plan.

Thanks , Cake and Grin to everyone who is signed up on the register. I just want to give my donor a massive hug!

Enjoy tomorrow together. I hope the baby is better and you can store up some snuggles before you go.

I hope you enjoy the last day of this phase, at home, biscuits; then onto the next phase tomorrow, inshallah. You are doing brilliantly, strong lady. Thinking of you all the while. Stay stale Thanks

Wishing you well on your last day at home. Me and my mum think about you everyday, even if I am rubbish at keeping in touch.

You'll soon be back home with your lovely baby, boys and husband.

Southwell · 30/09/2014 09:19

Have a lovely day today. Sending you every good wish for tomorrow and the coming weeks

AWombWithoutAFoof · 30/09/2014 09:47

Will you have internet access in the transplant centre, biscuits? So we can stalk you bombard you with goodwill?

FloraFlorist · 30/09/2014 10:03

Best of luck for tomorrow - I too will be thinking of you.

You were thought of many times a day when I was away - every time the muzzein (sp?) called & I heard it I offered a prayer for you & yours.

catsrus · 30/09/2014 20:50

three cheers for biscuit's donor Flowers and best of luck tomorrow biscuits we'll be with you in spirit!

Best of luck biscuits, and well done your donor. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.

StillProcrastinating · 30/09/2014 23:09

Good luck, sending prayers and positive thoughts for you all xx

biscuitsandbandages · 30/09/2014 23:34

Oh shit. I dont want to do this. So scared and broken hearted. How can I leave them and only see my husband and babies once a week for nearly 2months. Sad

IamHelenaJustina · 30/09/2014 23:48

It's two months to exchange for who knows how many decades. This is your best chance of a cure and you know that and that's why you will do it. We are all standing with you. Get in there and meet some new cells Smile

Goldmandra · 30/09/2014 23:56

One step at a time you will get through these next few hours and walk out of that door because you know that is the only way you can choose not to leave them forever in the near future.

Two months feels like forever but it isn't anywhere near as long as the alternative.

I wish we could bottle hugs and take them out a bit at a time when we really need them but we can't and you just need to keep focussing on the day when you're back home lounging on your sofa with your children around you making up for lost time.

You have a massive job to do in the next few weeks and you owe it to yourself and your lovely family to put your all into it. Take on this challenge tomorrow with your chin up, ready to fight and win. You have your goal and you're already well on the way to achieving it.

Sending tons of love, hugs and good wishes. We'll all be lurking, waiting for your updates when you're feeling up to posting them.

Im alternating between wanting to go to bed and wanting to sneak into the boys rooms and go to sleep with them.... if I had only one I probably would but I cant pick one and leave the other. Instead I am downstairs crying on the sofa. .. a little scared to go upstairs until I can calm down in case I wake the baby (who is still in with us because we need her room as spare for visiting family who are helping)
