    In 1998 Barenaked Ladies sang ‘One Week’ and in that song, the singer referenced that it had been one week (hence the name) that a nameless lady had looked at him. It has been longer than one week since I wrote my last blog post but trying to make, ‘it’s been nine weeks since I wrote a blog post about my cervical cancer because I’ve been busy and stuff,’ is just a little harder to fit into the tune.…

    Back in January I had two operations ten days apart, one of which I call ‘The Little Op’ and the other ‘The Big Op.’

    No. This is not an error. Yes. This is the version I wish you to see. Go forth and Elmo.

    I’ve been back in the office I work in for what…

    This week’s blog post is going to be brief as what I am writing about was a very brief encounter.

    Brief Encounter

    Oh, good grief Charlie Brown! No! Not that type of brief encounter.

    Two weeks after diagnosis I met the consultant who was going to be my consultant and who got to have the immense privilege of being the one that removed bits out of me.

    At this point I had been bounced between two hospitals like a tennis ball – Frimley…
