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 &...

I remember that I promised to let people know how my walking weekend in the Peak district went.
Well I made it! 11 miles in total starting from Derwent water (where the Dambusters trained) then up to Back tor and Lost Lad before the long trek back.
Many thanks to my fellow walkers who provided encouragement, Martin B, Martin F, Tony and our intrepid organiser Pete L. Many thanks to you all.
The weather could have been better but a little rain never hurt anyone. And with this summer so far I think...
Hi I am a 45 years old and 2 weeks ago was told I had stage 2A melanoma which was diagnosed by having a small mole removed from my stomach a week before. I am fair haired and quite often in the sun with not much protection so feel this was a little self inflicted although I found this very difficult to accept and hopefully have caught it in time I still kept saying why me what have I done to deserve this apart from working hard all my life to provide for my wonderful wife and daughters and this...
