Congrats on the extension, how is the current chemo going (think a few months ago you mentioned you were starting a new run)?


However none of that excuses 2,3,&4. Stop Branding sheep and all that will go away!

(1) Find out the treatment results next Wednesday; haven't had a drink since treatment started on 1st March - Wednesday it's going to be celebration or sorrow drowning down the pub either way!

(3) One 'silver lining', I now qualify for the 'mobility scheme' so have ordered a new car through them

(2) Police have accepted I can have my guns back after they took them off me due to (1) but now say I can't have them as a family member has MH issues (which the police have known about for 4 years!)

Fingers crossed for you and hope you get happy drunk, that's a long old stint on chemo.

Update. Just had my oncologists appointment / treatment results.....

1. DON'T Got cancer
2. Having some 'issues' with the local constabulary
3. Wrote my car (and someone else's!) off last Friday

Turns out I’m one of ‘the few’ with oesophageal cancer where the treatment was (as far as can be said) completely effective.

Got 6 monthly scans for the next how-ever many years to catch any recurrence early (might happen, might not - hopefully not!) but for the moment have been given the ‘all clear’ 😊.



Hope anyone reading this who is going through the same nightmare themselves forgives me a banana or two but I feel like I've just deflated a giant stress balloon for the first time in many months.



And thanks for all the kind words and support; I don't want to come across as a soppy numpty, but it does mean a lot when you feel like tulip.

[Halo Jones]

Yep, you are definitely allowed a banana

It deserves more than a banana - it deserves

Fantastic news!

Well done. It'll take a while to get back to normal from 6 months Chemo.

Be very cautious about going to public places, even shopping etc. Catching a cold, or worse Flu, at this point would be very bad news. After my Wife's first session of Chemo we were visited by her sister. She had contracted a cold on the journey up and managed to give to my wife. She had 6 days in ITU, with me having to wear the full body suit to visit.
