Valentines Day waiting for stem cells ❤

~ ladieslifestylelounge

I’m sitting in a hospital bed in Galway staring out at the grey bleak day and wondering how the hell I ended up here !

I’m too young to have Myeloma . I’m a mum of five there’s no time for me to be sick but I am and I’m here waiting patiently for my stem cell count to rise . For me to have some type of remission I need to have a stem cell transplant . Last Monday I had high dose chemo and then spent the rest of the week injecting myself with nuopegen to boost my stem cell growth .

After a lot of strong chemo and radiotherapy my little stem cells are taking their time and have decided that Valentine’s Day will not be the collection Day ! 

So I’m here waiting for my Hubby to return with good ol’ M&S ( anything is better than hospital food ) and spend a bit of quality time together in my very fancy hospital chambre !! 

I usually make such a fuss about V day for my kiddies so I’m seriously missing them today . We had a special dinner on Sunday before I left and I had done the usual decorating ❤ but I had to be happy with FaceTime this morning and watch their happy faces before they headed off to school . I suppose I should be grateful that I can do that . 

I’ve spent most of the morning on instagram and I’m very amused at the work and effort that went into the perfect valentine pics for today ! Well mine is a pic of my family because they are my loves and that’s why I’m here sitting in this bed waiting for stem cells .

Happy Valentines Day ❤

      2. Thanks Marian it’s very difficult for families but at the same time it definitely brings you closer together . My dad and my aunt were also diagnosed with cancer in October so we have had our fair share ! I just take each day as it comes and I always try to find something positive . I hope you sister will be ok . Best wishes tracy x

  9. Hi Tracey
    You’re never far from my thoughts and prayers. My heart is broken for ye that you have this cruel cross to bear. You are such an amazing woman and have a gorgeous family. I know they will get you through this. Thank god for children as they give you a reason to get out of bed and fight another day. I know how private you are so I didn’t want to be on but I’d love to catch up if you feel up to it xxx

  10. Hi Tracey,

    I only know you from the school, but had no idea till now you were going through this! Wow Mrs. I’m stunned as you always look a million dollars. I would love to offer support in any way or help with the kids like lifts etc. Jesus wouldn’t you love to be able to tell cancer to just f off!

    Huge hugs
