    Another day closer to the impending doom of chemo and radio. Oh joy of joys.  I have managed to get some work done today, which was nice.  Some of you might consider that an odd statement, but getting some work done meant that not all of my day was taken up with things related to cancer.  In other words its another step closer to what my life used to be like before the cancer.  I'll take those steps however I can :-)

    Thats…

    Another Saturday done, been a quiet sort of day. The kids spent a good chunk of the afternoon down the park playing, which is good, we had that little monkey of a granddaughter come round for a couple of hours, which is always nice.

    Its certainly put things into perspective, I guess. I don't get stressed about being late with the morning school run any more - what would be the point - I also don…

    Well today started badly, it bloody well chucked it down this morning. I awoke feeling very tired too, another night where I seemed to sleep in two halves - one from about 10-2am then another stretch from 3-6.  Unfortunately the second stretch seems to come in spurts of maybe 45 mins or an hour, I am constantly waking up it feels like.

    The day improved though, I made contact with the private healthcare people and they f…
