A little update…
Firstly, I want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has taken the time to send messages, cards, prayers and good wishes to me and my family over the past few months. Your kindness has been overwhelming and has given me great strength during some very difficult days.
As many of you know, I was diagnosed with leukaemia back in march. It’s certainly been the biggest challenge of my life, but I’m very grateful to say that my treatment has been progressing well
After 4 months in hospital I’m currently enjoying a few weeks at home, focusing on rebuilding my strength before the next stage of my treatment. It’s wonderful to be home with my family, although I’m learning that recovery takes time and patience.
The next major step in my journey will be a stem cell transplant in early September. While it will be another challenging chapter, I’m approaching it with hope and determination, knowing it offers me the best chance of a full recovery.
I also want to reassure all of our patients that Brodericks Chemist continues to be in excellent hands. Our wonderful team has been doing an incredible job caring for our patients and keeping everything running smoothly. I couldn’t be more grateful to each and every one of them.
Thank you again for your continued support, kindness and encouragement. It has meant far more than you’ll ever know.
I’ll share another update as my treatment progresses.
Take care,
Barry
