Yes, two updates in under a week, but this one is just because many kindly people have asked, so I thought I’d write down the whole day, partly for your info...

As ever, it has been a long time since the last update. For this, I apologise but everytime I sit down to write something, another something crops up render...

OK, so the bluebell painting might be a touch premature, but it's so beautiful, was done especially for me, and I wanted to show it off. Thank you, Ms. Simp...

PLEASE NOTE - The blog has been being complicated and I've had to do some techy-geeky stuff. This post was originally published on 17th Jan 2020 so forgive ...

Lots has been going on since the last blog went out, but here’s just a little update on the latest news. I’ll keep it brief and when Rich is feeling up to it...

Hello, you lovely people. I promised a post-scan-results update, and here it is. Sorry it's taken a while - we managed to squeeze in a few days away which wa...

I am aware it's been well over a couple of months since I last updated you, but I'm pleased to say that there has been a genuine and, dare I say it, moderate...

Last Thursday, 2nd May, was a bit of a milestone. I stood in the buff on my scales and uttered a modest whoop of delight when the little digital display tol...

I have been asked to write something from my perspective on this journey. I hope that this might not only help me make sense of my new role as a carer, but a...

Crikey. What a bloody week. Stuffed full of lows, with a dusting of highs and everything in between. We met the oncologist last Friday (8th Feb) who told u...

These are the hardest of days - the days between the scan and the results. It's a time when the mind oscillates from one end of the cancer spectrum to the o...

I've been meaning to update the blog for weeks now, but every time I'm about to do so, another vagueness crops up and I put it off until I find out what's ne...

Right then. Update time. I promise to do my best to keep things brief, although there is, as ever, plenty to report. Things are currently relatively rosey ...

You find me, once again, in post-chemo recovery mode. This was my 23rd round in almost exactly two years. Indeed, exactly two years ago I was currently in t...

Last night, I learned the horrendous news that Steve Lemon passed away early yesterday morning. I knew Steve, but not well. He was 38, was married to the l...

Bother. Bother bother bother. Bugger. Shit. FAAAAACK. We're back, ladies and gentlemen, more or less at square one. New growths in the lungs and a new ma...

Having published my most recent blog yesterday, I re-read it this morning and had one of those moments. You know the sort: when you say something completely ...

Aside from my witterings about Decembeard, it's been a while since I last updated you on our cancerous journey and, in that time, quite a lot and yet surpris...

It's next year already and, as you may be aware, last year ended with a spot of beardy-weirdness (see title). It all started with Bekky and I having a chat ...
