The Bag for Life 

Well, my dear chums, what a year it has been! Hospital visits in total for 2025:  an impressive 58. Weight put on since this time last year:  plus 4 kilos, from 75 to 80. (Note to self: less beer and takeaway food, and more calories burned after the 2026 hip replacement operations.) Cancer all clear  after 7 years, 4 months and 27 days… yes, ACTUALLY CANCER FREE! After two massive, life-saving surgeries, the first being on 18 September 2018 , where a large tumour was removed

From Stage 4A diagnosis to “cancer-free” and a Lifetime Achievement Award: one extraordinary week closed a seven-year battle. Relief, gratitude, and a fresh start. I believe in miracles.

Well, who would have thought it: seven years ago today I had the phone call that changed everything. Life would never be the same again...
