Not much happening health wise but I’d thought I’d just write a few lines about what I’ve been up to.
Firstly I celebrated Beryl’s first birthday in February with a curry and a pub crawl with some ex-colleagues from the RNLI in Poole. A great weekend but totally exhausted.
And Beryl’s had another holiday. This time we went to Fuerteventura for a week. Absolute bliss. Left Stansted in the snow and landed in a comfortable 20c. I even managed to get sunburnt in mid-February....
At the end of Oct 2016 I found a tiny spot above my top lip which started to grow very quickly. This is what it looked like after two weeks.
Last Thursday (1 March) I had the joy of a 07:15 physio appointment re mild lymphoedema (neck) which resulted in them saying it's virtually nothing so actually I can just pop in for occasional reviews. Result. Frankly I wasn't going to be wearing the bizarre head and neck harness at night. Tried it and it was an utter mare...I looked like Marley's Ghost! My wife called it a "head bra"..enough said.
After the physio appointment, I indulged in a coffee and a croissant before I...
Stockholm Syndrome…
For the last three and a half years, I have often felt like I’ve watched someone else live my life. Like I’ve been a passenger in the car and just went along for the ride. People say ‘Where do you see yourself in five years?’ I lived from appointment to appointment so how am I supposed to imagine myself in five weeks never mind five years?
Now its like I’ve woken up, I’m the driver of the car and I’m on a road I’ve never bene down before. I can’t...
Looking radiant and tanned after my visit to Florida with my children , Christopher and Sara .
I had to go for a routine mammogram. The same day we got back .
Jet lagged but full of confidence I drove to East Surrey Hospital .
No worries, no idea and in denial I went to guilford after I was called back with my daughter.
All too slow in my memory . The call for another mammogram, the time I was sitting in front of the consultant , the ultrasound, th biopsy and all the hint I...
After 2 weeks I got my biopsy results from my hysteroscopy and it’s good news!
The Complex Hyperplasia has gone and my cells are looking normal! Just need another biopsy in 6 months time and if that’s clear the Mirena can come out.
I couldn’t be happier!

Well, it is now 28 February 2018, just over 6 months post diagnosis. Oh, and it is 11:40 am my time (Qatar)...so that'll be 08:40 am back in the UK, where I believe you are dealing with some pretty grotty weather. At least you have trees! Anyway, I digress...back to the "here and now".
I decided to write this blog because it suddenly struck me, as I read my profile, that it was more in the form of a "blogesque" narrative. At the risk of shamelessly reproducing the profile entry, I will...
Hi all, this is my first post and I'm not really sure what to do or why I am even here. I have been extremely lost with my experience with cancer - it hasn't even been a year yet. I will start off by saying that I asked for cancer. I have suffered with depression for many, many years, never having it in me to end my life. I was a coward, wishing to have cancer to kill me. I felt it wasn't fair on those people who wanted to live, if anyone should suffer it should be me. Then came the day I was diagnosed...
