My journey with the big C in my gut – goals, memories, daily insights, challenges and maybe an occasional cry for help!
On the 5th of July 2018 I got some news that rocked my world: "You've got Cancer and without treatment you've got three months to live." Almost exactly fourteen months later some more news rocked my world: "We're very, very pleased with the results of your scan - we don't see any signs of Cancer... Continue Reading →
Tomorrow I go into Hospital for a long-awaited scan to attempt to determine my current condition. This (hopefully) will result in a definitive result. SCAN IS DONE - NOW, WAIT FOR RESULTS... NOTE: The Scan I took in April, which was supposed to give me some answers - was inconclusive. The advice however; from the... Continue Reading →
This time last year I was just out of Hospital from my first bout of Chemo. A walk in the park; if you count lying in a hospital bed being poked, prodded, stuck, injected and poisoned.

Today is the one year Anniversary of the rest of my life. So; I guess I'm one year young. It was noon a year ago that I thought I was fat, happy and healthy. Ten minutes later I found out I was just fat. The Prognosis; 3 months to live - unless I subjected myself... Continue Reading →
I haven't worked in eleven months; travelling to a project. Two of my clients came to me in the UK in the early days of my ChemoTherapy treatments.

BUT, they are not able to definitively state how much the tumour actually shrunk or was eliminated. Instead, there seems to be fragments 'glowing'... Continue Reading →
I'm starting to write this the day before the fat lady sings (actually, the Doctor is not really fat.) After all I've been through the last ten months boils down to the results that will be revealed tomorrow, from the Pet Scan that I had last Tuesday. I admit: '"I'm scared shitless!" IF the result...

Well, my first "job" since July of last year (before Chemo +) was to assist a Spanish Company named Thomas Wellness Group (25 years, based in Madrid) promote their brand EVERGY to an International audience at FIBO, (largest Fitness Trade Show in Europe.) This required me to reach out to my Network and invite them... Continue Reading →
Hey Everybody, I will be at FIBO for a few days and would love to say hey and thanks! I’ll be at the Evergy stand… ... Continue Reading →
