When I relapsed: Tuesday 10th september 19

Went to have bloods checked and have my weekly ECG at the n&n ready for my normal appointment. I had the ECG and then went to clinic to have my bloods taken and checked. Dr laws was hanging around 'like a bad smell' (his words not mine). He wasn't himself and he wasn't very talkative, all he said was "let's check your blood results and then we will have a chat ok?". Me and mum sat there and was like we both don't like the sound of this as we both knew that obviously something wasn't right as dr lawes is never like this.

He checked my ECG and blood results and both were ok. He then told me that my treatment so far hasn't worked. I burst into tears. He told me that I will be admitted by end of the week to start chemotherapy asap and that in the future I will be having another stem cell transplant. I felt absolutely devastated about this and I cried and cried and cried, it's like my whole world has come crashing down again.

Day 22: monday 20th august 18: Last night I slept like a log, I didn't sleep with any pyjama bottoms on last night because my bottom and front needed to air (due to the fact my skin was extremely sore and some areas were broken skin).

The male nurse told me that today my neutrophils are 0.87 so that means I'm not neutrapenic anymore! 😀, the doctors are saying that possibly next week I will be allowed to be discharged home. Today i ate 1 peach muller corner yoghurt. Today also I had a physiotherapy appointment where the physiotherapist came to me on the ward and gave me some exercises to do each day and increase each day. Day 23: tuesday 21st august 18:  Mum and my brother visited today. I also saw my clic Sargent worker who is sending my wish thing off today. I drank a fortisip drink (special build-up drink) and ate 6 chilies cheese bite things from burger king (freshly made). I sat in my red armchair and did my exercises. The

Me and mum got to the norfolk and norwich university hospital and we went to the ward AMUK (Acute Medical Unit (K)) which is a mens ward. even though it was a mens ward it had a clinic on there in the day for emergancy gp referrals which is where I was sent by my doctor who I saw earlier. I got there and gave my name at reception and they told me to have a seat in the waiting room. I then realised that I had been here before when I got told I had pneumonia.  I was then saying to mum how bored I was and mum was saying how she hope were not up here too long as she had to take one of my younger cousins to kingslynn hospital for a important checkup. I was called in and seen by a Male nurse who toke some blood from my arm. I was very scared of needles so I got mum to hold my hand. After my blood was taken I was told to go back in the waiting room and wait to be seen again by a doctor once my blood results are back. A little while later I was called again to see a doctor this time. He asked
