In UCLH awaiting diagnosis after blood went haywire over the past three-four weeks or so and I nearly collapsed yesterday lunchtime. So far, two blood transfusions and a bone marrow extraction. Should have confirmed diagnosis in the very near future. I will overcome the problems.
A really strange night last night.
I woke up just before midnight drenched with perspiration and my right foot felt a bit better.
I am now awake, again covered with perspiration and the right foot seems to be much better.
The platelets transfusion was a problem and I had an adverse reaction!
My foot injury was re-dressed; very painful indeed.
Discharged at about 5 am to get home.
I’m still optimistic about the fight against this condition 🥊🤓.
A truly awful afternoon/evening yesterday😢. After I posted my update I had heart problems (atrial fibrillation) ‘diagnosed’ by my iWatch. A 999 call later and I was in a blue light ambulance to UCLH where I had intravenous antibiotics and a transfusion of platelets. 1/2
The blood transfusion worked and my platelets level is much higher than last week.
However, my right foot is still bruised and swollen despite Panadol and antibiotics.
The next step is further tests on Monday with a new ‘agenda’ for treatment/chemotherapy injections 💪🏻🥊👍🏻.

When The Times exposed world Jewish conspiracy was a hoax.
@DAaronovitch: ‘belief in the Protocols in the Anglophone world came to a total halt after August 1921….All over the world people of goodwill were armed with the real story.’

After my spell in hospital today, I went to see a play, The Windsors: Endgame - delightful and funny in equal measure.
If you want a good laugh, go along and enjoy the fun.
I felt a bit weak yesterday lunchtime. Platelets transfusion and chemo injections now cancelled/postponed.
Now having a blood transfusion and also my badly bruised toes redressed.
I’m not feeling sorry for myself - and I remain determined to fight this leukaemia as best I can.
The painkillers work! Now I can relax a bit and concentrate on the fight against leukaemia 🥊💪🏻and plan my YouTube broadcast.
A terrible sleep last night; in constant pain from my badly bruised toes. Have started the day with 9 pills including pain killers! Although I’m very tired, I am absolutely determined to fight this leukaemia and urge other sufferers to do the same 💪🏻🥊💪🏻
Another odd day today. I dropped an ornament on my foot yesterday which broke the skin and heavily bruised 2 toes. Received call to cancel chemo injections on Monday and for a second platelets transfusion. A&E dressed my foot and sent me home with antibiotics.
My fight continues
What’s going on with the sudden use of the word ‘discombobulating’ - isn’t the word ‘confusing’ good enough?
Had a transfusion of platelets this afternoon coupled with a bad reaction to the pre-med medication. Nurses had to keep me awake.
Now home and feeling ok but a bit tired.
Not a backwards step but not very nice.
However, the fight against leukaemia continues 🤺
Planning to film a YouTube broadcast about leukaemia, the signs etc and how a positive attitude helps.
That should keep me occupied whilst I fight this condition - and also hopefully help others.
What do you all think about that idea?
