    Morning all.

    First of all apologies for not updating sooner but I have had friends visiting and there just hasn't seemed to be the time.  No excuse I know.

    I had my results.  I think I had been secretly hoping for another outstanding episode of shrinking.  Unfortunately it was not to be.  Dr Oncologist still believes this is good news though, it was as if he could read my disappointment.  He said that after our last results…

    Hi all.

    I am sitting in bed eating some posh chocolate and drinking coffee.  One of my favourite pastimes.

    I haven't much to say to be honest, could be because we are in a kind of limbo but felt an update was overdue.

    We have had an eventful week here, the twins have both been in hospital having minor operations on their heads.  One planned to deal with an excess skin growth and the other unplanned, I think it was a…

    Chemo isn't going to let me go easily.  I felt instantly rough within minutes of the Cisplatin going in.  That is a first.  Good job it is also my last  for a while.

    I have done it.  I have made it to the end of my first chemotherapy treatment plan.  12 sessions done.  At times I have physically dragged myself at others breezed…

    Hello all!

    Been a few days since my last update.  What have we been up to?  Me, My Cancer and I?  Well I have dragged it everywhere whether it wanted to go or not....

    Older master T had his birthday party and a couple of friends over to stay, A did all the hard work due to me recovering from chemotherapy.  Great fun was had by all.  So proud of my growing boy, they all had a ball and his friends are so supportive of him while…
