Thank you very much, I greatly appreciate that. (And all other comments)

Was most likely the worst thing we will ever go through In our life, I do therapy to deal with the after affects of it (as well as other things) and my wife was diagnosed with PTSD from it, take comfort in knowing she was the one that effectively saved his life as she was a perfect 10/10 match for the stem cell transplant which is a 1% chance of happening so they told us.

being amongst those kids, as in inpatient too for five whole months it makes you appreciate life and our situation as terrible as it was, there is so many more kids worse off so we count ourselves as one of the lucky one’s.

Reason why I’m so open about talking about it all is to try and help other parent’s going through it, raise awareness of the importance of being on the stem cell register and even helped make and develop easy to read information to parents and children about the condition which will be sent to families at the start of the diagnoses.

Very proud of us & most importantly him.

Hope you have a fantastic time you all deserve it. I couldnt agree more about people getting on the stem cell register. It's easy to do and could save a life. I to was lucky enough to have my son match me when I had my transplant in 2017. Did you get treatment at the freeman. I was on ward 33 I think the kids were 34. Anyway have a fantastic day and if I can help in anyway with any questions you may have please get in touch.

Really powerful words and actions mate and I’m not surprised at all your poor missus suffered from PTSD as I can’t think of anything much more traumatic than this to be honest.

You two are the examples of the best of us.

now enough of the schmaltz I have a feeling it will be siege mentality with the team tomorrow. A show to prove they aren’t a one man team !

Diagnosed at the RVI two days before his first birthday. Three months of transfusions, two bags of platelets a week and one bag of blood every week or two just to keep him alive, then admitted onto the bubble ward at the RVI on the 2nd January 2021 where we stayed between there and the children’s oncology ward for 137 days (but who’s counting)

wife gave her stem cells at the Freeman though over 8 hours with needles in both arms, both absolutely fantastic hospitals.

Couldn't agree more. That's what my son did needle in both arms after injections to boost his cells. Unbelievable technology and the doctors nurses just magnificent. Hope all continues to go well for you all.

Anyway, sorry to bring the mood down. Guess it was a distraction from people arguing between each other for a hour or two. Haha

I have to say reading this thread on and off today has been disheartening. Far too much arguing and point scoring, not enough respectful debate. When it descends into the sort of abusive nonsense and tit for tat we have seen today I tend to think this little old place loses its appeal. It is at its best when folk are sharing opinions and ideas in a respectful way, even when having wildly different opinion. I hope this isnt an indicator of the way the board will go.

Ha'way mate it's hardly unbridled anarchy.

One person came on for an argument and kept it up for hours, another was deliberately contrary.

Various people responded, the majority politely, and debated the issues just as you do.

This has been, and still is, a very good thread in my opinion.

You've not brought the mood down at all mate - hope you all have a fantastic day at the footy. I still remember my first game like the back of my hand!

so do I. Season we finished on the lowest points under Peter Reid/Howard Wilkinson.

Middlesbrough at home, was either a 2-1 or 3-1 defeat, Phillips scored for us and was in the north stand lower, toxic as out and I was absolutely hooked from there.

Definition of trenches.

Might be a bit rough until the window shuts as apparently players leaving/signing brings out the worst in people. Be alright after that.
