Title: 8 years ago tonight Post by: tonytats on February 15, 2012, 07:30:50 PM Me and mrs tats were sat on a hospital bed in peterborough and a doctor told us our daughter ( aged4 ) then had leukaemia blast cells in her blood
As me n mrs tats had split up a bit ago I was supposed to be looking after my daughter for the second half of half term instead Off we went to paediatric oncology at Addenbrookes Wher she was given 2 units of blood and 1 of platelets as her cell counts were so low , so she could have a lumbar puncture the next day to diagnose what type of leukaemia it was And so began the most stressful time of our lives after two years of chemotherapy all we could do was wait a further 3/5 years to find out if it had all worked Thankfully it did work and now she is a perfectly normal 12 year old kid All of that changed my outlook on life and it's why I'm such a daft twat / piss taker now and dont take much to seriously Title: Re: 8 years ago tonight Post by: AdamM on February 15, 2012, 07:33:25 PM glad it worked out.

That's more than can be said of me some days Thanks all I got that phone call I didn't want today a good friend from Wigan who's been battling liver cancer for 3 years got felted Monday Bought it all back Title: Re: 8 years ago tonight Post by: ManuelsMum on February 15, 2012, 10:15:10 PM That's great news.
Six months ago, I thought I might have cancer, it made me all serious. Different strokes, I guess. My default position is daftie/joker mind you. It'll make your time together that much more special.
