    Number 13
    Blog post 13. My armchair at the oncology ward for my first chemotherapy session was also number 13. Lucky or unlucky? Maybe both. Because I am and I not superstitious. Just like Stevie Wonder! As I walked in, I thought of how he might have sung &ldq...

    Urology Awareness Month

    Urology. Defined in the Oxford dictionary as the branch of medicine concerned with the function and disorders of the urinary system. It’s always been a sensitive topic and often leads to not getting the medical attention that is required when a problem occurs in this area. In fact, according to the research done by Bupa, one in five UK adults who have experienced potential cancer symptoms, have not seen a doctor due to being too embarrassed to go.

    In this blog, we take a look at the Community...

  • It's Gone Tits Up
    When two become one
    Wednesday was my consultation with the surgeon, which was a bit of a mess truth be told. It was kind of mad with myself for going in with such a firm idea of what I wanted and expected them to do. Feedback for the care team is they should really set ...

    Making cancer treatment decisions

    A South Asian person in her wheelchair takes notes by hand during a meeting.

    When you have been diagnosed with cancer, you may have a choice of different treatments you could have. Depending on your diagnosis, you might also be considering whether you would like to have any treatment. Making decisions about cancer treatments for yourself or a loved one can sometimes be difficult. It’s important that you feel you have all the information and support you might need to make the right informed decision for you.

    “I have changed my mind numerous times over the last week...

    Crazy Cars, Cancer and Questions
    Not so long ago, but in ‘my other life’, the one before cancer, I nearly died. It was a close shave (almost literally) but with a car. The exact time of it was at 4 pm on Sunday 14th February 2021: Valentine’s Day. Looking at it pos...

  • What Just Happened
    Day 1. 4am
    I appear to be awake in a rather alien environment and what are all these weird noises. Oh, this is good, I have no pain and can think straight, but now I realise, I don't really want to think. I am now on my own at last and I am very, very scare...

  • The final journey
    Still don't think we are ready
    Dad was diagnosed 17 years ago and was given 5 years to live. He is the fittest man I know and I guess we all thought he'd outlive cancer. Now at 71 he is in his final days/week. He has gone downhill so quickly this week. He keeps seeing his mum ...
