  • First story is about Ian and his recovery from Lymphoma: "Ian had a stem cell transplant last year, after being diagnosed with blood cancer. Several things helped his recovery and he wanted to share his story to give hope to others going through a similar experience. I always prided myself on my good health. I tried to eat…
  • Hi Grick, My name is Dan, I am one of the community champions here at Anthony Nolan and I am currently 3 years post transplant to cure Leukaemia.

  • Hi Beaglegirl, So sorry to hear about everything you are going through. My strong advice here would be to have a chat with the Patient Services team at Anthony Nolan - they have a helpline you can call and they are at least a very compassionate and friendly voice on the end of the phone. It sounds like you need that right…

  • Aww that is very sweet - well it sounds like you two are doing the best you can in the situation which is awesome to see :)
  • I can't see the photo, but really glad to hear that you two are keeping up a good sense of humour - keep it going!
  • Hi Beaglegirl, So sorry to hear what you and your husband are going through. It is really horrific and nervous for the partners and families of patients, even more than the patients themselves sometimes. It is so hard for any of us to understand exactly what you are going through or what is going on with your husband, but…
  • Hey Sarah, Firstly, welcome to the forum and I am so sorry to hear that Danae has been diagnosed with AML.

Anyway, it is really important to remember that all of the people going…
