Good morning/evening or whatever time it is in your area. Another day of tedium for everyone I guess. I have not yet received any notification of my vaccine jab to date. My daughter, one of my sister’s in law and mother in law have had their jabs. I did get a letter from the hospital …

Christmas cheer
Good afternoon fellow downhillers. My consultant has just rang to say my MRI scan carried out last week shows no change it is stable.

As you read in my previous blog my daughter was raising money for a small charity researching our medical condition and she raised over £800 amazing so thank …
Day 18
Another session of treatment today, been given stupid ‘o’clock (6:10pm). I suppose it’s my own fault for requesting afternoon appointments, but when does that time equate to an afternoon? My hair has started to fall out where the radiotherapy is targeting so I have shaved the more hirsute side and gone a bit Peaky Blinders, …
Treatment
Hi fellow crew of the GB bobsled team and family supporters. Well yesterday was interesting, had two appointments for two separate issues – had my radio/chemo treatment in the morning so was there for 0830, but my typical luck the machine was playing up so was lying on the bed with my mask on for …
