    I've been busy, I'll tell you all about it whilst I scoff yet more Christmas food.....

    Since we last spoke Christmas has landed and I have been to big old London Town.

    Evening all,

    Such a lot has happened since I last wrote to you all.

    Two in as many weeks.  You can tell the cancer is invading my life more than usual.

    I often feel that the only time I write this blog is when I am down.  Or something happens.  Of course life goes on in the background.  The day to day of housework, school, dinner and the general monotony of life.  Having cancer does not mean that you can not do this stuff.  You just have to do more.  Even when you are dog tired, the pain killers…
