steve had to have a bone marrow transplant I was lucky to be able to be his donor I saved his live.That day we had to take steve into hospital was awful because steve was well and in remission at the time I remember carrying steve down the ward with tears in my heart.the treatment is very powerful as it has to destroy steve own blood work etc to hopefully get rid of all possible bad cells.I had to be seperated from steve for 3 whole days while steve recived whole body radiation so I had to be kept save so nothing happened to me.when I had donated my bone marrow very painful and sore I could hardley walk but I made that walk looking back now I dont knnow how I did it but I had to see my baby,when I got there to his room he was reciving my bone marrow he looked so lossed and alone I gowned up and went in to his room.steve stayed in that gold fish bowl room till xmas eve when his blood count had risen enough to allow us to go home I cant put into words how that feeling felt to be home for xmas.
