I knew I said that was was the last blog, but how can I keep my dry quips from my all. It has been a week yesterday since I finished with the NHS as fingers crossed I feel alright from a slight change in my voice, bit of a setback, (sound like Quentin Chrisp, with …

Continuation
I hope everyone is OK. Apologies for the lack of communication bit up and down down affair since my last post. The consultant has decided to reduce my current chemo treatment from 10 days to 3 days over a sixth week rotation as the side effects were affecting me with as I said with the …
Happy 2023
Happy New Year fellow downhillers. I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and New year. I enjoyed a lovely time over Christmas, relaxing with my family.

Merry Christmas
Festive greetings to you all. I hope you are all OK? I think about individuals we have lost this year and the rest of us still battling it. Cancer is a sh1t. I was supposed to have my chemo a few days later but it was decided by my medical team that the chemotherapy drug …
The life of Brian

Happy Star Wars Day
No I haven’t taken leave of my senses. Today is 4th of May, hence May the 4th be with you. I know lame but what the heck. Last few weeks have been up and down like a roller coaster in terms of Brian and the NHS. I had my bloods taken on 20th of last …
