Hello,
Please excuse the broadcast nature of this communication. This has taken much thought and deliberation.

As you know I have now had Cancer twice in the last twelve months. This cancer is thought to have been caused by radiation treatment received for a different cancer in 2015, and currently my prognosis is very precarious.

When I wrote my last update things day-to-day were not that great, and were quite shit mainly due to the inability to stop saliva being over generated in my mouth when ever I did any movement like walking upstairs or driving a car. The result was it would just flow uncontrollably out of my mouth....

Ok, so its been a very long time since I wrote on this blog, and I had intended to never write in this part of it again, but a little too much stress and a lot of bad luck I am writing here again.

I wish more people realised that a skin cancer on the face, neck, scalp or ear can spread to a lymph node nearby. If you’ve had a skin cancer removed and develop a lump in your neck, you should seek professional medical advice as soon as possible. #HeadandNeckCancer https://t.co/wAHYFkbQo5

On Thursday I was lucky enough to attend the Pathfinders forum.
Apart from the sadness and fear of hearing about how wild and random cancer is, it was really good to hear from people who are really making a difference in the way that treatments and cures for Cancer are treated.
I really encourage anyone who reads...
