Hi Most of you who know me know that Bert has been re-admitted to hospital. For anyone who does not know me I will try and keep this brief.
Last September Bert was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia, it was originally thought that this had evolved from Myelodysplasia and his only chance of cure was Bone Marrow Transplant.
