I lost quite a few followers on my last post. Well, Instagram followers. I don’t usually take note of that sort of thing, I just happened to refresh my Instagram and I noticed that the numbers made a fairly significant drop. So I kept an eye on it for interest. I did wonder how that…

As someone who has generally done whatever they can to avoid churches for fear of getting smote down on the spot (I jest… sort of… I also always thought the past tense of smite was smited, but Google thinks it knows better than I do. Ok Google, we’ll go with your way), I’ve actually been…

I have this feeling that hearing aids aren’t considered very cool, generally. I don’t know why, I’ve never had an issue with them, I’ve always thought they were pretty bloody cool technology – anything that helps someone to function better seems pretty great to me! But there does seem to be a resistance to getting…

Sorry, got a bit excited there. Stable PET-CT scan (MRI not back yet), yet again. Honestly, I thought that would be the case, but you absolutely never know and as I was voicenoting my bestie Katie in Sydney to tell her, it hit me how much of a relief it was to have it confirmed…

Before I get onto talking about the promised topic of salt (it will all become apparent soon), I wanted to say just how much each and every comment on my previous post meant to me. I’ve read them all and smiled a lot. I generally try to get through and reply to them but I…

Of course there is. Well, at least it’s not all bad I guess… that makes for a change… Ok, give it to me, Mr Radiotherapy Oncologist. Actually, sitting in his office back on the 9th of December, only 4 days after my MRI and 7 days after the PET Scan, I wasn’t expecting he’d have…

You’re either with em or against em. You’ve either mused with the idea of getting one, or you’ve already given into it, or you refuse to ever be ‘that person’. I think how we grow up can have an impact on our views towards tattoos too, right? My dad, for instance, was always against them,…

I turned 35 on Sunday. 35! What a glorious thing! It wasn’t long ago, before I started radiotherapy, when the Oncologist and everyone associated with my care was obsessed with telling me they thought I would die any day, that it felt like turning 35 wouldn’t be available to me. That I wouldn’t see another…

Well… I guess I’ll jump straight into telling you. It’s because I’ve been launching an album. Would you like to listen to it? Because you can, here: Thank you for listening! Honestly, I can’t tell you how much it means, how much I appreciate every listen. To think my music is making its way around…

If you’ll cast your mind back for a moment with me, let’s take a momentary hop, skip and a jump back a couple of months to my adventures in Edinburgh. I had such a fantastic time, but as you’ll remember, it was a lot and there were some quite difficult moments, for a multitude of…
