Much Better Day Today
Ha – total opposite to yesterday, all down to me taking the 10 steroid tablets that are part of the chemo routine as well as one small but very powerful 'mega steroid' tab that Prof has prescribed to see if it might get some of my inflammation under control. Result? I have been an active…

The Latest Cobblers
God, yesterday was the shittest day I think I have ever had in this crappy chemo-schmemo world – what a total crock of bollocks it all added up to be, not to put it too finely. I'll try not to waffle (anger and annoyance do tend to make me bang on) but in a nutshell…

So Much in Just A Few Days
Cor, where to start with it all? Maybe with the one little bit of good news – my PP score has dropped from 6 to 4 from the first cycle of chemo treatment. Which, ordinarily, would have me jumping for joy, but its become so much less the point of focus that it was kind…

The Fajita Fairies
This Thurs saw the arrival of nieces 1 and 2 (or Jess and Grace as they are alternatively known) magically appearing chez nous with all the ingredients for a marvellous chicken fajitas dinner.

Shoulder Bloke
Saw Duncan Tennent the shoulder bloke last night at St Anthony's in Cheam, seemed a decent chap. The irony that for the past 15 months at least I have not been able to carry my own arms around with me, as just having them swinging at my sides cases great shoulder pain, is that now…

Heart, lungs or who knows what?
Had a really good 'consult' with Charlotte Rayner yesterday, who is the chest expert at Parkside. As the heart chap at St George's has basically given up, she is now charged with trying to work out why I: have so little overall energy can;t all for more than a few yards without getting very breathless…

De To-Tally Tropical Taaaa-ste?
OK – own up, who was it? A spanking case of 24 lovely Diet Lilt cans made its way through the front door this afternoon, care of one of you very kind folks out there…. but I don't know quite who,…

Rattly Breakfast
Thought you might like to see what goes in 'for breakfast' today, before the just-as-exciting bowl of Fruit & Fibre.. Yum, yum, yummedy-yum hey? Although the irony of the steroids (the pile of 10 small ones) is that I do now get…
