Not sure what to offer at this stage! Diagnosed with colon cancer just over two months ago and beginning third two-week cycle of chemo, with surgery to follow. Very happy with advice to date ….. love your chemo, it might just save my life, and ……. Make sure you have a fuckit list, anybody or anything you could do without, just say the words ……. sorry but I’m the priority at the moment.

Hi Karen. As you say "tolerating" the chemo! Now day 4 of third two week cycle and I feel really yucky this morning. Trying to keep up my normal routines, so I have a choice, back to bed and try and sleep for a couple of hours, or off to the gym which is my normal routine, but just for a shower and smoothie with friends, no exercise. Have a good day yourself x

Hi Karen again, just got nosey and read your history, wow! How brave to keep going during all of that, and to keep up the record to the 5-year sign-off. Brilliant and inspiring. Thank you x
