Hello everyone. Last week was like being in a non rehearsed panto. Basically my chemo is on hold for time being. We didn’t make the Christmas Market in Beverley and I had two visits to A&E. I had a blood transfusion and then I was notified I needed another set of bloods taken as my …

How we came to be here
Cancervissary
Where do I start. Well the beginning of this chapter would be good I guess. The Dr didn’t ring so we rang the surgery to be told he was off but they would arrange for another Dr to call be back. The Dr rang to say he has been told to ring me back and …
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.

Good news

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 …
