Oh dear.... look at you all!! lolol!!

Voddies all round, I have a large glass of sherry in my hand. Early I know, but I don't give a stuff.

It is not good news, I am afraid.

The biopsy showed that there is a malignancy back in my marrow... the cytogenics aren't back yet, so they can't say for certain which malignancy, whether it is the AML or something similar. Either way, there is more chemo on the way, and almost certainly a stem cell/bonemarrow transplant. With AML it will happen sooner, but there is some breathing space (a few weeks) for the other.

It is very very early, which is why they are not able to determine which way the baby cells are going to develop, as the cytogenetics take longer at this stage. It wouldn't have displayed at all in the blood, it is so brand new. I go back next Tuesday to find out. I will see the transplant specialist then, as well, as the chemo is different for the two types.

There is a very very very remote chance that it is something else, but even that will require chemo. Whatever *it* is, it is a malignancy.

As all those at the Newport meet will tell you... I look the picture of perfect good health with an old fashioned farmer's wife's clear complexion and physique, lol

*sighs* back to the drawing board then, lol... but at least I have time to draw my breath this time, and time to go and get some nice new knickers and jim jams. ;¬))

We are off to my younger son for the weekend, so will get loads of snotty cuddles from Princess Twinkletoes and *step grandchildren*... I don't know the latter well enough to give them names... but they are forming, lol

I am off to finish phoning the rest of the family... some weren't in, and there are sibling rivalries and hierarchical ego's at stake, here. ;¬))

Take care, and I'll be back later... remember, no doom and gloom. Please, please make me laugh, lolol

Love

Daff xxxxxx
