First point for this week is the obvious lack of update last week. That was deliberate and due to the fact that it was a very uneventful and normal week, in all respects. Whilst this has been evolving bit by bit and there were lots of positive comments on the
Health perspectives first and this week seen the arrival of another seasonal cold. This one resulted in a lot of tiredness and early nights, with my sinuses being the main affected area. The addition of bodily pain was there, but harder to distinguish now between what is cancer related and
This week did not present any real health related changes. I have however, undertaken a few ‘tests’ around pillow choices. Staying in the hotel bed last weekend resulted in me waking less sore around my neck and upper body. The ‘tests’ have yielded some results and a slight easing of
Health aspects first, as usual. Following on from the injection the previous Friday, I had a very odd week. Varying side-effects (we think) from that, which were a reminder of some of the lower moments of 2023. The arm pain was there, but the side of my bicep swole up

Hi Folks, You regular readers will have noticed a lack of update last week; that was down to the simple fact of not having the same free time to write the Blog. Therefore, this week will cover the past two week’s developments and updates. Health first and the past
The past week has been a relatively quieter one, but one with a mix of activities. Health-wise, the back pain is easing ever so slightly, but it makes a difference. That has been helped by the arrival of our third (and final) mattress. Thankfully, we went with a company that
The past couple of weeks seem to have went by very quickly with a series of key thought processes taking place during them. Those thought processes have been facilitated by the Consultant phone call, my career choices and informing my boss of them, meeting with close friends and discussing life,
Will start this latest update with a positive aspect that took place the week before, missed due to the other detailed shared then. That aspect was my second post-chemo hair cut. May sound one of the most mundane / routine things, but I can assure you that, having cancer, it is
