When I was about 8 years old I had my first encounter with cancer.  I sang in my local church choir and the head chorister was diagnosed with leukaemia.  He was about 14.  3 months later I was told he was dead.  At 8 you don't understand the details, but I knew I wasn't going to see him again.

Since then blood cancers seem to have claimed the lives of people I have known or their families and friends on a regular basis.  2 years ago an ex-colleague and friend lost their daughter to leukaemia at 21 while she was at university; and just last year my wonderful sister-in law, Ruxi, passed away after a long fight with myeloma.
