  • I don’t have time for this
    Are you sitting comfortably?
    Why the title? It’s the first thing I said when I was given my diagnosis. I’m 55, a mother of 2, grandmother of 2 and married to a wonderful man.  It has been an horrendous year for us. My father in law died just before Christmas sud...

  • Mummy’s poorly, let’s get her better
    Cancerversary
    It's been a long time since I have written.  Last week marked one year since my diagnosis. I didn't think I would get emotional about it.  I have been working hard to get 'back to normal'.  I am in a new job, have been ...

    Heard the latest?
     Have you heard the latest? It’s not out yet.  But until it is, here are two things learnt since the last post:  First, the blood test taken on the 12th of November subsequently showed my PSA level has fallen from 39 to just 0.8!...

    Heard the latest?
     Another step yesterday, I met the consultant who'll oversee my case, at Medical Oncology. She was very thorough, enquiring what I know about my condition, the treatment, and what is available on top. In addition to the hormone therapy I&#39...

    Halfway through Phesgo
    Truly it was a surprise today to realise this was cycle 12.  That's 6 chemo plus hormone, followed by 6 Phesgo injections, so I “only” have 6 more to go.  I think I have gotten so used to this routine every 3 weeks I stopped...

    #12 Getting Worse before it gets better
    Maybe I was extremely naïve, maybe I just hit peak information overload at some point, maybe I could only look so far ahead. When I was first told I had throat cancer I went off the scale to the dark side and thought that was it, worst outcomes ...

    Has your speech or voice changed after a cancer diagnosis or cancer treatment?

    November is Mouth Cancer Action Month, an awareness month organised by the Oral Health Foundation. In today’s blog around mouth cancer, we’re talking about speech and voice changes.  Speech changes can depend on where your cancer is, and the type of treatment you have. Speech and voice changes don’t only affect people with mouth cancer. You may also experience changes if you have laryngeal cancer or oesophageal cancer, amongst other diagnoses. For some people, speech changes are temporary...

    Hi, and Welcome to Completely Nuts!
    Hi, and welcome to Completely Nuts!  My name is Merv, and I'm a bloke; my father was a bloke, too, and so was his father before him. I like being a bloke because I get to do all sorts of brilliant blokey stuff - and, because I'm a bloke, I'm pre...
