Today was a really good day. I got to hang out with someone I love to pieces and just sit, laugh and drink copious amounts of tea without the uncomfortable looks I'm starting to see more and more. I hadn't seen him in moons and I feel a little awful that if I hadn't gotten cancer I might not have seen him now either. He's a little love with the best sense of humour going and when I told him, entirely out of the blue one day that I had cancer and I was completely nuts about it I guess he could have...
LOST, LONLEY AND CONFUSED AND SO ANGRY mum was diagnosed with grade 4 terminal brain cancer in January of this year, we went to Christies two weeks ago both my dad and me, didn't take mum as its now to much for her, she just gets so tired and aggressive, and confused that we decided not to take her. We saw mums consultant and she said that there is nothing else can be done. She asked us if we wanted to see the latest MRI scan, but she said it was quite horrific as its the most aggressive cancer she...
Dear friends
I am sitting on the terrace of a gorgeous villa in Speloncato, a hilltop village poised between the mountains and the coastal plain in the Balagne, northern Corsica.

Beyond that is a range of small pointy hills topped with dramatic fortified villages, and beyond them lies the blue Mediterranean. Above my head is a rather rickety wrought iron framework that must have once supported a canvas...
I remembered my appointment this afternoon - huzzah! I am officially calling Wednesday a success as a result.

People keep telling me I should be at home resting but I'm not that ill. I've got a run of the mill icky thing, not a terrible disease. OK I do have a disease but that's not what's making me feel ill and as it turns...
I woke up this morning and realised despite two diaries and a calendar I had completely forgotten I was supposed to go to my friend's for a walk. I can only assume she thought since I had cancer now she could no longer beat me for letting our plans slide.
As it happens I felt so rough I was in bed with Megamind (on the telly, I'm not having an illicit affair with a blue alien) by 8pm. Being ill is knackering so I think getting through work is enough of an achievement. My asthma has kicked off...
