Back from Toronto! We spent 3 weeks there with our family. It was good to be part of their life! We tried to help as much as possible, so that my daughter and her husband can have some rest. With two young children, and a limited sleeping period, it is kind of hard…

The weather there was as bad as when we left France: rainy and cold! Little sun! Even some snow!

It was just the start of the Spring there, with flowers which were already gone at home but were just starting to bloom.

Back home, we found the same rainy and cold days we had when we left 3 weeks before… But new flowers were blooming…

Soon we will have roses, peonies, iris…

I started again “my artistic work”, both clay modeling and stained glass. Work is in progress…

I am now in my eighth Spring since I got my stem cells graft! I will never thank enough the people at Saint Antoine hospital, and specially my fantastic graft doctor, who made this miracle possible! I don’t forget my anonymous stem cells donor, and my wonderful family and friends! I hope, one day, my anonymous donor will read this blog… I miss her…

With love…

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.
