Reporting back It was results day today. I have primary thrombocythaemia caused by a gene that seems to have gone bonkers! It seems it's on the first step of the leukaemia spectrum. Not cureable but manageable, so now I'm taking oral chemotherapy. Had a little cry, but I'm being pragmatic (or at least I'm trying to be), and I'm telling myself - it could be worse:-)))

Hiya horseshoes, sorry to hear about that, you have a good circle of friends to help you deal with this, be strong and best wishes to you x

[DTCwordfan]

horseshoes, I am so[i sorry to hear this and you are right to have a wee weep or two or even three. I am sure you will have many more (unfortunately).

However, you [i] do have[i] the right attitude and you [i] will] boss this. With family and support from friends, and even us ABers, you will get through.

If you want some support off line from a whole group of us stupid reprobates, let us know; [email protected] - if you want to contact me and I am sure that we will all bundle behind you.

ABers are thinking of you and you have our love tonight, and into the future.

And, please, try and get some sleep; you need your rest.

Thank you all. I asked straight out if I will die from it, and I won't, so when I said it could be worse, it really could. You're not getting rid of me that easily! Especially not before Christmas anyway. xxxxxxxxxxx
