It's Chemo Thursday again - 5 down, 7 to go.
Coming out of the tube station, I start going up the flight of steps leading to the outside. Half way up, I feel myself trip and as if in slow motion, I fall forwards and onto my knees but I managed to put my hand out which luckily stopped me from falling flat on my face! Not too bad, just grazed knees and hands. So I arrive at the clinic all shaken. Good news is that they accessed the port to take my bloods and they said it was working fine and...
Hi,
Sorry it's been a while since I've posted, but we've had some bad news. After the results of Daniel's PeT scan after his round of treatment at Christmas, the doctors told him that they were no longer treating to cure his cancer, but to prolong his life. They also said he could have as little as two years to live.
Daniel, being Daniel, hasn't let even this affect him. He's still totally motivated, loving life and happy. He's looking into alternative therapies and he said...
It's been a while but then not much has happened, well to us anyway....
I like you have been immersed in the huge political momentum that the country is currently gripped by.
Since my unchanged scan results recently my pain has not got better, in fact it may have got slightly worse. But given they couldn't see anything obvious to explain it I am at a loss at what is causing it. I just need to hope that it is the radiotherapy.
As you know I have been trying to complete my first year at university...
I can't remember the last time I went down a slide, maybe a few years ago at a soft play centre when the girls were much younger.
Last night I fell down the stairs, probably about about 8-9 steps! I tucked the girls in and then headed downstairs. On my way to the top of the stairs, I passed the landing and drew the blinds closed while passing. I think as I was pulling the cord, I took a step down, at the same time, missed a few steps as my foot slipped and landed half way sliding down to...

Hello to all out there who talked to Kermy. This is the name my beautiful wife used fir her blogs. Unfortunately I have to tell you She did not make it and passed away on 6th June 2016. She will be missed by so many but not so much as myself her husband. She was the best wife, friend and best buddy all rolled into one.
I'm 4 weeks into my chemotherapy (8 more to go) and it's has certainly been an unpredictable and anxious journey into the unknown. I have been warned that the side effects are cumulative as the weeks go by. As much as I try to fight it (in denial), I am slowly ticking off more and more of the side effects in my personal chemo book. I have decided not to document in detail my weekly experience of chemo in real time. I think it would be better for me to write this at a later time, to reflect on my...
Hey!
So I've been getting a little annoyed recently about the lack of information on VIN3 and everything to do with it! So I thought I would start this blog to give a bit of incite on my story and hopefully with the help of others make the vagina less of a taboo subject!!!
I'm currently 25, and have been dealing with this since I was 22 ( youngest my consultant has come across)
It all started with a small lump on the lower inside right of the labia....it got bigger &...
