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.

Apart from the Colitis I have been feeling well, but things started to feel a bit weird mid month. On 20 November I spat up some blood which caused me concern and then on 26 November my surgeon confirmed there was something unusual.

Not much to report. Colitis has continued to be an issue with a few scans, tests, and infusions. As I write this, it is under control. I am still on 12mg of steroids a day and remain off immunotherapy. On the positive front, I had a successful check-up with my surgeon and have generally...
