SPIROS KOTSIALOS

October was a great month highlighted by the great news of an all-clear on the cancer front, which I celebrated by focusing on mindfulness and fitness while enjoying numerous concerts, movies, and a weekend trip to Brisbane away.

I was apprehensive heading into a month of significant health appointments, as this is the time of...

September was a month of transition. After returning home for a period of rest, I finalised the move away from DiMO, allowing me to introduce more practices aimed at keeping this cancer at bay.

My health continued to be good this month, which was reinforced by an all-clear from my surgeon and another successful immunotherapy...

After a busy four days in Sydney, it was time to head back to Greece but this time for a special adventure shared just between Zoe and me.

Possibly my shortest health update ever: no news is good news. My colitis stayed well-managed throughout our time in Greece, and there were...

The first day of July began with me at Dubai Airport, en route to my favorite destination—Greece. The last day of the month found me back in Sydney, receiving the results of my latest PET scan and scope.

One of my biggest motivations for going to Greece is to feel healthy, and that was truly...

I’m writing this update mid-flight on my way to Greece, heading into a month of rest and time with family after a tense few weeks of health updates.

I was hoping for clear answers on 25 June, when I received the results of both my biopsy and PET scan. The biopsy brought the best possible news:...

June marked my 49th birthday—one I felt deeply grateful to celebrate. True to form, the path wasn’t exactly smooth. I spent the day recovering from an unexpected surgery the day before, but in spite of it all, I was still glad to be here and was able to make the most of it.

Although I’d...

Its been a while since I have posted, no reason in particular just that I have not been as disciplined as I let life catch-up with me and have been a bit busy. I am more sorry to myself about that than anything as life has got busy and my goal is to stop that...

February was a relatively straightforward month health-wise. After undergoing immunotherapy and colitis treatment on January 30th, I recovered reasonably well, though I had to manage some stomach cramps, reflux, and lingering lethargy.

On February 20th, I had another round of immunotherapy—this time without the colitis treatment. The recovery process was much quicker; however, the colitis...

January was a rollercoaster of highs and lows. It began on a high note with fantastic New Year celebrations in New Zealand, but things took a downturn as the month progressed. After struggling significantly following my treatment on the 9th, I found myself battling COVID-19. This led to a rough period, including a...

December was really a month of trying to focus on the glass half full as opposed to half empty 🙂

Obviously, being diagnosed with cancer again, having an operation that took a bit more to recover from than I expected, and then both immunotherapy and colitis infusions, it was all a bit to process.

The overwhelming...
