  Biopsy

  Biopsy is a clinical term that sounds innocent enough, but it essentially involves sticking miniature drinking straws into your body and vacuuming out the contents. Since the MRI people had asked me along, I thought I'd better accept the invitati...

  Be More Moira

  After noticing that there seemed to be a link between consuming Lemsip and peeing twice in quick succession I arranged to see my GP straight away. I resolved to cut out the narrative detailed above, and focus on the correlation between the consu...

  Why "LemSip"?

  Lemsip because that was the substance that led me to discover I had PC. I should warn you that I am writing with a hint of a persona that might be fit a grumpy old man, irritated by trivia that other people can overlook. At the same time, I try to in...

  To Hop-on or Hop-off is the question?

  Post 510: Hey Doc, what are you on?

  Post 510: Hey Doc, what are you on? Is there anything like having a chat to a person that’s fully committed to a bad idea and gives you a load of bullshit about it even though he’s wrong. That was the unexpected twist to my blood test re...

  Post 509: I forgot to say…

  Post 509: I forgot to say… How rude of me not to mention my appetite in the last few days, it’s staggering, I’m a food hoover all of a sudden. The sudden and wild ride I’m now on with eating everything in sight was pushed t...
