Chippo Night
Popped to Pam and Jude’s night for the annual chipolata party. All slightly confuzzled as it’s always been held on the last Monday before Xmas, so the lack of Xmas jumpers and Santa hats felt slightly wrong even though it’s obviously January.. But great to finally see their spanking new kitchen extension – it’s tranformed…

Midhurst Magic
Just back from fab weekend with the lovely Barnes Boys, James and Dominic, at their country cottage in very cute Midhurst. Very glad we made it this time, having had to cancel at zero notice on the evening H got his unexpected diagnosis on 30 Nov. The boys had just paid at the supermarket,…

Better News
Just a quickie to say that H and I have just been to see his new consultant, Vincent Khoo. And thank god there was a very important bit of news, which is that his PSA score has dropped down quite a way. Just this alone seems to indicate that he is deemed a 'responder' –…

Bohemian Rhapsody

Hawksey’s BEST Christmas Present in 9 Years

A Spot of Christmas
Well, we've tried to make the most of it and thanks to everyone who has popped by, send cards and texts and generally helped to perk us up while we wait for more news for H. Hawksey had his annual 'Gentleman's Dinner' a few weeks back – seemed to go with a swing – and…

Hawksey Update
So we went at 8pm last night for the follow up appointment with Prof Huddart, having waited 2 weeks for more definite news of Hawksey's position and diagnosis. Another frustrating appointment, which certainly left us feeing that we will be switching to the alternative consultant in the NY. One thing that particular pissed us off…

H’s Next Appointment
… is tomorrow evening (wed). Apparently the consultant still only has half the results back from the re-assessment, so it's sounding like we may not know a whole lot more until possibly the NY now. Very frustrating, not an impressive start with this guy, so we are looking into switching to a second chap who…
