Race For Life 2013

Race for Life 2013… Well… I DID IT!!! 6 weeks ago I was in hospital having radiotherapy for Thyroid Cancer. This weekend, I ran Race for Life and raised £1298 for Cancer Research UK. Thanks to all of you, my readers and sponsors who believed in me. It was tough. It was 35 degrees of […]

Who am I running Race For Life for?

Who am I running Race For Life for? A pretty loaded question, coming from me. I could run for Clare  – a little girl who died of Leukaemia aged only 5, when I was fighting it myself aged 8. Or a little boy called Daniel, who died of a tumour, shortly after I was diagnosed […]

Cosatto: Thankyou for your incredible support!

Now the team at Cosatto have no idea I’m posting this, so I hope it won’t make them cross, but I can’t not. Their support, the smiles they’ve raised and the things they have done these past few weeks, are nothing short of incredible. When I came out of hospital they sent me a fabulous […]

My pathology results & the radiotherapy decision.

You may have noticed I’ve not posted for a few days. It’s been a long and hectic weekend. On Friday I got my second set of pathology results from my thyroidectomy operation. The Good News No Cancer was found on the left side of my thyroid! The Bad News Due to the size of the […]

Cancer Trends: Then and Now (Cancer Research UK Guest Post)

Here is a guest post written by the lovely people at Cancer Research UK. As you know, it is a charity close to my heart…           CC via Flickr Cancer is not a nice word to hear, anymore now than it was fifty years ago. However, does it mean the same as […]

Second Surgery Update: Total Thyroidectomy for Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

I’m home! I’ve had the rest of my thyroid removed. My parathyroids and my lymph nodes have been left intact. I came round to the same awful post-morphine side effects as last time… Many hours of vomiting, being kept on a drip for fluids and drifting in and out of wakefulness on a heady concoction […]

Cancer, my surgeon is coming to get you!

Today is the day of my second surgery. My talented consultant will be cutting out the other half of my thyroid and possibly a few lymph nodes, depending on how far my Cancer has spread. Yes, I’m nervous. I’m terrified. But I will be back blogging in a few days (and I have a few […]

Cancer doesn’t stop for Christmas

I Stood Up To Cancer in 1994

Yesterday I posted about the Stand Up To Cancer Campaign by Cancer Research UK and Channel 4. I also talked about my Grandad living with Cancer and losing my Gran to Cancer. Today I’m going to tell you about my experience with Cancer. I was 8 years old, it was January 1994, somewhere around 6pm. […]
