Lots of MN handholding please - relapse

[DashingRedhead]

Hi everyone, some will have seen my posts in biscuits' threads and I know lots of you have very kindly passed on the word about my stem cell donor search. But now I need a miracle: the leukaemia is back but this time in my central nervous system.

This is not only very rare, it's also really difficult to treat: chemo intravenously but also to the central nervous system via the ventricles of the brain. It's really unpleasant, though I shan't care if it manages to cure it.

My husband and parents last week were told to start preparing for the worst. However, one of the consultants wasn't happy and I've been referred for a second opinion to the Marsden in the hope they may be able to treat me.

I'm so scared but at the same time feeling hopeful that at least they haven't given up yet. Any prayers, candles, support, good vibes you can spare, please please please think of me tomorrow. I have two DC who need their mummy and so much to live for.

Dashing, I'm so sorry that it didn't work for you. Geoff, I hope you can be comforted that your dear wife did all she could to be with you.

Oh crap. I came here to check up on her as I hadn't looked in for a month or so. What utterly awful news.

:(

Geoff - if you ever read this, Dashing was one of the loveliest most upbeat posters and I felt so inspired by her positivity. My heart goes out to you and your family.
