There’s no place like home 🌈👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Over a year ago I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma , the same week I found out I was expecting my fifth baba . People often say to me ‘what awful timing ‘ but honestly I’m a firm believer in things happen for a reason and my special baby helped me through a very tough time . 

So basically for over a year I had an idea as to what treatment I had in store for me . In saying that I have certainly not been a text book case if anything I think I have challenged the doctors !!! My year has been one hell of a rollercoaster ride . When you least expect it something else crops up and you just have to pick yourself up and go again . 

A few months back I wasn’t sure if I’d make it to transplant , it was a very upsetting and worrying time for me . So I feel very blessed to be here today having chemo to prep my body for transplant on Thursday . This will be my first transplant and hopefully in May I will travel to Germany to have my second stem cell transplant … this will be an allogenic ( donor transplant ) ❤

I have been on Chemo since May … while my little baby was growing inside me this potent stuff was working away doing what it needed to do . After Harry was born my chemo was changed to a much stronger form and from Oct to Jan I was on three types of chemo and high steroids weekly . The chemo I am having today is serious stuff !!!! This will blitz my body and it’s the balance of that and waiting for the stem cells to kick in is the hard part . 

So I’m sitting here watching this cytotoxic substance been pumped into me and I’m hoping it all works out . I’m looking forward to the future and planning so many different things . I want to be on the other side of the rainbow so I’m clicking my SJPs and wishing for time to pass that I’ll be back home with my babies ❤🌈

As Dorothy would say ‘ there’s no place like HOME ‘
