    Just a quick post.

    Really a post on my thoughts at the recent passing of influential people from this awful disease.

    I don't know about you but since finding out my terminal diagnosis hearing that a well known person has passed away from Cancer really hits me hard, and lately there have been a few.  Today's news about David Bowie and the recent news of Lemmy from Motorhead has made me very thoughtful.

    I think it is the time of year…

    Afternoon blog buddies,

    What have I been up to?  Well.... Day 4 in bed and still no sight of land? or normality maybe?

    I finished my four week chemo-radiation course on Monday.  Dr Oncologist warned me about the nasty side effects, the diarrhoea, the loss of hair locally, making me infertile and giving me the early menopause and maybe some skin discomfort.  I was not prepared for the radiation burns to my most delicate …
