Thanks Christine, don’t apologise you have had enough on your plate! We will push forward and move on and hopefully there will be better news in the future! Keep focused and hopeful! All the best Mandy xx
Hi all,
It is with great sadness to have to write this, I’m afraid Sean (my brother) lost his battle with AML on Monday 22nd October.
As you will see he had fought this long +hard for 2years and you would never hear Sean moan or say ‘why me?’ as long as there was hope he continued like the hero he was.
Unfortunately Sean’s disease had the added complication of having the flt 3 mutation so it basically made it more difficult to get on top of.
We would like to thank Professor Craddock and all the team at the Centre for Clinical Haematology Queen Elizabeth Hospital for their excellent care Sean received throughout his time with you all. A special thanks to Naomi Sean’s specialist nurse for all of her help and support she gave to Sean and us his family.
To all of you that have commented on my posts thankyou especially Jane,Christine + Steve.
Keep going all! You can beat this and one day it could be a disease of the past!!
Love to you all
Mandy xx
I send you my love Mandy …what can I say? I am so very sorry to hear your news. Thankyou for your part on this forum. You have been a blessing even in your own struggle.
Thinking of you and your family . Jane x
Oh no Mandy, I’m so sorry to hear your sad news. We’ve all watched the progress that Sean has been making and the setbacks he has encountered. There’s no doubt he has fought this with all his strength and it must be such a blow that he lost his battle after all this time.
I remember meeting you and your mum at one of the Anthony Nolan information days just before Sean had his transplant and your strength as a family supporting Sean was there then and has been throughout since then on this forum.
I send my thoughts to you and your family at this sad time and thank you for keeping us up to date throughout.
Kindest wishes,
Steve
Thankyou both so much. Yes Sean did do his absolute best to overcome all the treatment and set backs but unfortunately with his extra complications of having the Flt 3 mutation it made the job a lot more difficult to combat. He was my absolute hero!
We will be laying Sean to rest tomorrow but the absolute floods of messages and letters of admiration for him will carry us through the day hopefully.
Yes Steve we remember it well and thankyou for your support and kindness shown. Also Jane I hope your recovery continues well and you enjoy your health.
Sean would have wanted us to pass on his best wishes to all of you on the forum and to tell you to keep pushing forwards to hopefully make steps in the future so that we can put them into the past one day 
Sending lots of love
Mandy
Mandy,
I am so sorry to read your news and my sincerest condolences to you and your family. Through the past 18 months I feel like I came to know Sean a tiny little bit through you. He was incredibly brave to go through everything he went through and I could see how much support and love you had for him. It absolutely shone through in your posts and so I am so very sad that it didn’t work out as everyone on here was wishing and hoping.
I am sending you loads of love and strength for the road ahead.
Greg
