I have cancer.

The perks of cancer!

Whilst it’s generally pretty shit knowing I have cancer inside me, there’s been a fair few perks…Doorstep care packages from lovely people. Free cheese from my local deli. People’s faces dropping when they knock on your door asking if “you’d be interested in living forever?” whilst handing a bible verse over and being told “I’ve just had a cancer diagnosis so I’d rather not answer that question. Have a great day!” Treating myself to a fancy whisky. My Aunty Jo’s unreal Italian biscuits. And generally just all the love and support from everyone. Special shout out to my amazing wife for going through this journey by my side at every step, the miles and miles of driving and co-piloting and sitting in hospitals for countless hours, and a shout out to the Council Of Bens for taking over my guest page.

CT scan went without issue other than the nurse struggling to get the cannula in my vein because it “keeps pushing back”. Sorry that my veins are so HENCH 💪. Very weird side effect when the CT dye enters your system though, it feels like you’ve wet yourself. Not a need to wee, like you have genuinely wet yourself.

MRI next up on the agenda 🎉
