This week has been busy, and it’s not even over yet. One of the things I had to do, was go to London for a hospital appointment… are we surprised? Since I stopped the chemo in July, the functioning of my remaining  adrenal gland needs to be tested. Mitotane, the chemo I was on,…

The theme for this world cancer day is united by unique. Adrenal cancer is so unique that it’s not even given a mention in cancer circles. It’s rare 1 in a million people worldwide will be diagnosed annually. I have no interest in being unique, I just want to exist. I have seen people posting…

So I made it! I talked in a recent blog post about there being an event that I wanted to attend, and that I was worried I wouldn’t be able to make it if I wasn’t feeling well, and I made it! So let me tell you about last weekend. I finally got to meet…

I missed a Russell Howard gig last month, because I was just to unwell. I had been looking forward to it for a while, and worst of all it was something that my partner in particular had been looking forward to, he is one of her favourites. I wrote a post a while ago talking…

It would be fair to say that since October, when I was diagnosed, I haven’t been particularly happy. Things have been hard and I haven’t really had a moment where I just relax and forget about everything that has been going on. Its not through lack of trying either, but things are just hard, cancer,…
