This year I've been something of the traveller. Not quite to the levels of some of my touring friends, but no slouch either. Part of it has been that I had family weddings to attend and conferences, but mostly I just like to travel! This year I've gone a bit mental, because I figure I should celebrate. It's not every year that you get the all clear ( Read more... )

I haven't posted on here for a while (since Kinetik last May in fact), something which saddens me, as I always preferred Livejournal to a lot of the more "immediate" social media sites. The fact that I haven't been updating is mostly down to being mad busy with work these days and not having much time for stuff like this. Excuses aside, I hope I'll ( Read more... )

I'm all for less toxic ways of beating cancer, and this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6403737.stm is fucking ace. Using targetted particle beams instead of radiation to treat cancer. More accurate than rads, with virtually no damage to surrounding areas. Wouldn't have ( Read more... )

Partly for my own reference, 'cos my memory's still shafted, and also so it's all there for anyone else that wants to read it (some of the enries are friends only mind), I've compiled a chronological list of all my whitterings about being ill and having cancer last year, starting waaaay back at the end of 2005 when I first started feeling ill, all ( Read more... )

I had this bizarre dream last night. There was this pub with people in it and they wouldn't stop feeding me vodka. And the funny thing is, I woke up this morning with a stinking hangover. Wierd!

:P

Thank you all for the nice comments yesterday, you made an already happy monkey even happier!

So, went to cancer club. Ended up with both Lisa and Nolly ( Read more... )

Will put up a longer and more detailed post tomorrow, but for now, I'd just like to say:

I WIN! I'M IN REMISSION!!! IT'S OFFICIAL!!! YAY!!!

Will be in the Wrens from 8 tonight to celebrate. Feel free to join me.

:)

Thanks to everyone for the good wishes, 'twas most appreciated ( Read more... )

The suspense is killing me. Glad I get my results tomorrow, don't think I could take much more of this! This is even worse than waiting for the results of my first progress scan. I'm also curious as whether my blood counts will have hiked themselves up again as well. I've managed to put on some weight for the first time since I lost two stone over ( Read more... )

Well, that's me panned and scanned. The usual routine, up early to drink ouzo flavoured yuk-water followed by a massive breakfast, then fasting. Turned up for scan, drank more ouzo flavoured yuk-water for 45 minutes, then the fun bit of being pumped full of radioative iodine and stuck through a giant radioactive donut ( Read more... )
