Update from David

Unfortunately my stem cell transplant has started to fail and the leukaemia has returned already.

I have been back in hospital for a week and half now. They have started me on azacytidine and venetoclax to try to buy some time, but the prognosis is not good.

I don't feel unwell, but they won't let me go home because I am running a constant temperature.

So my world has been turned upside down again. The pure joy of a seemingly successful transplant has suddenly changed to despair. What a cruel disease.
