Buzzing on Drugs
Tonights thoughts are bought to you by the usual couple of red wines but also some side effects of steroids (unfortunately not the muscle building type, more the lets keep him awake and make him not sleepy – *yeah lets do that , ok lets ignore that sedative wine he is giving us and have…

Scanxiety
As I am awake and again it’s the middle of the night, what could be keeping me awake is tonight’s first question – well that answer some might find confronting and when they see me next they might not know what to say or feel uncomfortable or not know what to post in reply –…

Radiation Ends – now the wait.

MMM The Drink
The things we now drink to boost our immune system against the effects of Chemo – mmm how yummy 😬. On the plus side, I seem to have made it through the first week reasonably well (all things considered). I have been asked what is in it and the answer varies but mainly its the following…

Define Terms
Hey Grahams Blog define some terms in Grahams words for me ….. “Blur” – the timeframe between being diagnosed with prostate cancer and now. “Crap” – Finding out that not only do you have prostate cancer but you have unrelated lung cancer as well. “Breathless” – the feeling you have when you walk too fast…
