Diagnosis Day – 8^th August                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     I was diagnosed with MDS on 8th August 2014, which came as a shock to both Sally and myself. I have decided to set up this website as a way of recording my journey and hopefully to provide encouragement and support to those people who are on their own journey or will be in the future. I will add more about my journey from August to New Year as the website develops. 

Admission Day - 3rd May 

On 27th January 2015 I had an appointment with my transplant consultant at University Hospital Southampton. In essence there is a good match available. So we appear to be working to May transplant possibly June. More info in the blog. We now know we are working towards potential admission in 3rd May - just when Cate is doing the Isle of Wight challenge

Discharge Day - 9th October                 

So after two transplants and 5 months 6 days I have finally managed to get to the point of being discharged, after what can only be described as an incredible roller coster ride through highs and lows. But thanks to the dedication and skill of the fantastic multi disciplinary team at the Bone Marrow Transplant Centre in University Hospital Southampton, they have been able to get me though this.
