    The last couple of nighs have seen the return of the dreaded sweats. These were one of the first symptoms originally so we always think they are an early warning that the meso is back . It’s definitely a sign of something. Overall whilst Ray hasn’t had any more aches and pains than usual...

    Ray seems to have got back some of his energy, we have been away for a couple of days to the cotswolds- yet another part of Britain I’ve never visited. We did think we were going to have to make the best of it in the rain, but we’ve had brilliant weather although we both have a rather glowing...

    Following our walks on Sunday and Monday, Ray has taken it easier the last two days. He has found he needs the painkiller at night as he does get tired and achy very easily. Although the exercise is helpful, he’s still learning that he now has to accept certain limitations. Mentally this has...

    What a great run of good weather, all the bulbs are out in the garden, although I do appear to have a very high percentage of non-flowering bulbs!! Probably next door’s cat peeing on them all winter hasn’t helped. Car insurance renewal though yesterday, do we want to renew for 6 months...

A team of researchers at Keio University in Tokyo report that curcumin, the primary component in the spice turmeric, can effectively reduce the viability of human mesothelioma cells in...

    We realised today was another milestone that had crept up on us rather without thinking, it was a year ago to the day that Ray started chemo. Can honestly say that was a terrible few months, then again when you consider the alternative it doesn’t seem so bad. I remember us discussing the chemo...

    Inspired by other blog comments we drove to see the snowdrops at Heale House, we wandered round the ground and although the spring bulbs were lovely, the high point was definitely the very cheeky cockerels. One was really full of himself, following us round the grounds crowing, he even managed a stand...

    PET scan results were good news- a marked improvement from the last one, with a significant reduction in activity. This suggests the last scan showed infection not cancer activity – so in the words of the specialist “highly encouraging see you in May”. So overall a good day, although...
