You could be looking for the best gift to let someone know you’re thinking about them when they’re having a difficult time with cancer. Or perhaps you just need some new ideas when prioritising self-care.

  Wednesday 13th March 14th day post 1st Paclitaxel

  Microwave ablation recovery second time around

  Microwave ablation is a bit like childbirth - you somehow lose the memories of the worst bits and talk yourself into it again. I have no doubt it’s a lot less invasive than a liver resection, but I don’t think the information leaflet does...
