  • Steps to recovery #2 – Wound healing

    To be honest I could have started here as has been the focus since day 1 post-operation. This is one of the main pacesetters for the whole recovery. Just a heads up that I may be a bit graphic but will try not to overshare! It does help me rationalise in my head my approach…

  • Happy birthday. 🎈 πŸŽ‚ πŸŽ‰

    Love this man! Love spending his birthday with him ❀️ #bughunter 🐜

  • Steps to recovery #1 – Walking

    After the amazing news on Friday that I am cancer free (still can’t fully process that πŸ€ͺ) I am starting to mull over the different aspects on what recovery from major surgery looks like. Will share over the coming weeks as I already have at least 14 things covering physical, mental and social. Be good…

  • Bank holidays as they should be #familytime

    Lovely to have Mum, Graham, Paula and Lucy drop in for a couple of hours this afternoon. More yummy cake and a chance to catch up. Very special to sit in my world of cushions and have a chance to share news and hear the hubbub of conversation. Good to be with loved ones. πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•…

    Not going all Shakira just yet. Think my disco days will have to wait until 2025 πŸ•ΊπŸ€© Just over 2 weeks on from surgery and over a week since I got home so time for a quick (hmmmm) reflection on where I am with pain now – certainly improved from last week. Still on the…

  • Well at least England managed to win!

    Well done England on winning another test match. Won’t talk football today other than how unlucky can you get with the Garnacho β€œno goal”. Oh yes, diabolical defending! 😱. Needed a decent doze after that ending! Otherwise a day of small steps. Had my first walk up the road today – made it up about…

  • Finley πŸ’•

    This chap is not quite what to make of it all. Having a human sitting down in the lounge and dozing as much as him is not the usual thing. Especially as I have taken his spot on the sofa! He’s got used to Ben covering most morning walks now – think he is glad…

  • And the news is about as good as it could be …. πŸ˜€

    Well that was a good update with the consultant. The oncology team aren’t interested in me – all 27 lymph nodes tested are clear of cancer. Technically a T3N0 Can focus on recovery from major surgery. Move to 6 monthly CT scans to check remain all clear. #cancerfree. #sohappy 🀩🀩🀩🀩🀩🀩
