We left Australia after only 18 months our dream had come to an abrupt end. I was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer. After a lengthy operation, convalescence and a three month tour of Oz I returned to the UK. The cancer later spread to my lungs. The removal of tumours from both lungs and six months of Chemotherapy did not prevent it from returning to my left lung. After lengthy operations and medication, I now live in a cycle of CT and MRI Scans........ I now know what the waiting game is.......

Blog 46 Tuesday 11th October 2011
I have slept most of the weekend, all day and night. I have no energy and feeling very lethargic. I have tried not to sleep during the day; on instruction from the nurse, but my available energy versus's available gravity puts me on the back foot all the time. Weird though, that I am able to sleep well at night. I put the daytime sleeping down to a chemical sleep, all the chemo drugs still racing around perhaps. I have noticed that the last session side effects have lasted a lot longer i.e tiredness and headaches are still with me and I am getting blood staining from my nose. My next appointment with the Oncologist Mr Macmillan to discuss the lingering side effects is 6pm on Halloween !!! that's also weird, trick or treat I wonder..........
