It is already the end of the year. For almost two years now, we have been living with covid 19, and we don’t see the end of the pandemic yet…

With a part of our family not being able to join us for Christmas again this year, it will not be “a real Christmas” for me.

Anyway, to keep the traditions alive, we made a small Christmas tree, decorated in part with two pieces of my own production: a Santa Claus and a star made of stained glass, Tiffany style!

At this time of the year, it is also the tradition for me to prepare cookies and cakes. I tried new cookies such as this one, made for chocolate lovers (50% chocolate!), plus “cinnamon stars” and “brioche” ..

It is also time to sing old songs, like the one our father used to sing us when we were childs…

Merry Christmas to people at Saint Antoine Hospital Hematology dept with a special thought to my fantastic graft doctor, to my family and friends from all over the World!

With love!

From the time when I was young…
In 2011 I was diagnosed to have MDS (myelodysplasic syndrom). Recently, the disease worsened, so I have to have a hematopoietic stem cells transplant. In this blog, I share the steps toward a full recovery. It might also help me and other to deal with this scarry process. All the process is taking place at the Saint Antoine hospital in Paris.I would like to thank all the doctors and nurses there, who are doing a fantastic job. They are both technically at the top and so friendly: they are like family! Anybody who would be interested by more informations regarding my experience could contact me through the "comments" link.
