The die is cast. I go in at 3pm today, the operation is early in the morning to teatime. The surgeon phones my wife around teatime and she puts a blog up here. Continue reading »

I made a bad mistake today. I burnt my toast, then tried to eat it. It hurt, badly. Continue reading »

Well I was supposed to be, but I’ve had a migraine 2 mornings in a row. I’ve got the Sumatriptan tablets, but they take time to kick in and leave me blury for a while. Continue reading »

Sorry for the missing days. There was wifi at the campsite, but the PC would not connect (the phones would!).
We had a few good days of holiday. Down to Aberystwyth to see some of the landscapes for Hinterland / Y Gwyll. Continue reading »

It said it would be the hottest day of the year, so we headed to the nearest slate mine where it was 6oC all year. I nearly had a panic that I had left all warm clothing back at the camp site, but I found a thick pullover. It was a very good decision.

I saw the surgeon 3 hours ago.
First news is that the scan does not distinguish between active cancer and dead scar tissue. So all she can say is that it has not grown. They find out more when they go in with a knife. Continue reading »
