So! The piece is in today's Family Guardian
I have to confess to feeling a bit worried about it beforehand, especially about the photograph! But it's not too bad, and generally I'm pleased with the piece. It is just possible that I was one of the first customers to visit our local newsagent this morning!
Thanks so much to everyone for your lovely, supportive comments.

Loved it; very honest portrayal of blood cancers & stem cell transplants faced by patients with young families. No-one but the closest relatives are exposed to the true awfulness.
Dear Kate. You wrote such an honest, heart-wrenching story there. I put a link to it on my own Facebook page so others here in Canada could read it too, well, some others anyway. It reminded me so much of my sister-in-law's experience, though she did not live through hers. She did have a third child, a girl, also after two boys like you. xoxo
Wonderful writing, Kate; very moving. You are a fantastic woman with a brilliant family. I wish you all health and happiness. I love following your blog.

Dear Kate,
What a fantastic woman you are, thank you so much for the article. Your story took my breath away, it mirrors my own so closely, the number of kids, their ages now, my age, my cancer. Your story helps me with my story. We have survived, as others do!
Let's celebrate life, we are blessed.
