Hi Everybody It is great to be part of this site and a privilege to take part in some of the discussions. Some of the entries have raised that 'What if' question so I would like to adjust my sail a little bit and add my perspective. A long long time ago my eldest son died. We were pretty distraught by that. Many years later we found out that there was a genetic issue in the family that the older generation didn't talk about. The younger generation do and make sure that they have all the tests available. So there area lot of 'what if's' there.

This was a rather interesting week. We have reached 700 users. This is really good but at the same time we need to keep in mind how many people we are still not able to reach.

It is only with all of our efforts that we will be able to see our community reaching more people that would benefit from it. If anyone has any idea on how to continue reaching more people feel free to comment on this blog entry or to message me.

I got Leukaemia because I was going down the wrong path and needed to be steered back in the right direction. I got Leukaemia because Only through suffering do we truly understand and achieve our goals. I got Leukaemia because

The following is a long-winded blog entry I wrote in the midcdle of my treatment... Tuesday, April 04, 2006 The Road Less Travelled Not so long ago I was updating this blog on a relatively frequent basis, having a job I could do with one arm tied behind my back left me ample time to pursue more interesting tasks throughout the working day. My blog was a regurgitation of life’s simple pleasures, and filing it with self-indulgent quips of London life made me glow with all the pretentiousness of someone completely and sickeningly content.
