This Fortnight I…

Hi! Sorry. I was asleep last week again! Fatigue has been one of my biggest struggles with my recovery and treatment so far, I keep waiting for it to pass after the transplant, but so far it hasn’t. It seems fatigue can also be a side effect of my maintenance treatment. So it might be

Self Care, Frivolity and Motivation, or How a Pair of Trousers Made me Feel Better

It’s cold and it’s grey outside, but at the moment I feel more motivated than I have in a while. I’m finding it hard to put my finger on what went wrong with this year. It’s not been a bad year, many good things have happened. I’ve just felt an overall feeling of stress and
