THE DAY THAT CHANGED MY LIFE!

currently Javier

May 30, 2008 .... . That was the day that changed my life. I'll make a brief summary to date. Had worked for ten years in a petrochemical company without unsubscribe and never check-ups every six months. So I went to work like any other day (just the day before had donated blood), I became the analytical and went to my job. Just before leaving, they called me telling me that Medical Services had some strange results and would have to repeat it (thought it was a lab error and the error was mine so I thought). The new results sent me straight to hospital for more tests. I asked what was happening, but I said nothing. Seeing that the thing was becoming rare, I asked them to take me to the hospital in Spain (where I live there and had a whole family). In the ambulance was the only time I cried.

In Cadiz, directly to Hematology (I have only gratitude for the plant staff and especially Dr. Mari Carmen). That night I knew my wife and I sensed it. After several days of testing, I was told I had acute myelogenous leukemia L5. Nothing to throw noses! I spent a month in hospital, after a week of chemo and expected side effects pero siempre con una sonrisa o una broma que gastar.

Después una semanita en casa, qué alegría, pero ya no era como antes, mi mujer (como es natural), con mucho miedo y poniéndome una sonrisa que no tenía y yo, sin esas fuerzas que antes tenía. A la semana, más de lo mismo, otra tanda de quimio y a esperar por donde salía la cosa. En el hospital no se aprende de los médicos, se aprende de los compañeros que están como tú y de sus familiares. Y me dí cuenta de una cosa, la medicina ayuda, pero la curación está en tu cabeza. Por eso os digo a los que estáis malitos, que tenéis que ser positivos y pensar que es un curing bad cold.

While my brothers were given the compatibility test. My brother had hepatitis, so only option left was my sister .... That day I played the original, I hope everyone will pass this!

As in Cadiz do transplant, I was sent to the Hospital de Jerez (thank you very much everyone and especially Dr. Garzón). It was a September 26, 2008 when I transplanted. The two months I was there not too well spent. He did not eat because I threw up everything and I got out of bed because I had a spinal tap which left me sore head strong calming only to lie down. I also had fever, aches number, etc ... typical, I go, but always very positive. When I left I was all crap, but very happy. From his hospital bed to bed in my house. I still would be many visits to the hospital for checkups and blood transfusions. Rejection? I did have and still I have a little. Of what? After all, rejection, liver, metabolic, dermatology, and I do not know what else ... But gradually being overcome everything. When I saw it with strength, I asked my doctor if I could play sports and I said, listen to your body! And what if I heard it!

The January 1, 2010 at 9:00 am, begins a purpose for me. That day I ran 5 minutes. On September 26, 2010 (the day just two years before my transplant), I finished my first half marathon (1:49:56).

As many know, the road is very difficult, but as a coach used to say Barcelona, \u200b\u200b always positive, never negative!

Everything is of course I have to thank my sister, who donated his bone me, my family was always there, my daughter Paula to just thinking would cry if I was not, gave me the strength to endure what I cast, and especially my wife Maria Angeles, that without it he could. Many times I cheated on a good face and a smile inside and cried like a cupcake. By the way, she is marrow donor.

always remember those who have left and I hope they are better, like me, and those who have not been able to do this, just hope that their families be strong and think they never stopped fighting, everyone has been very brave.

I've been lucky, you might also have. Let's go look!

Greetings to all,

Javier.
