Hey everyone, this is Fred posting on behalf on George. He wants to wish you all a merry christmas and apologise for not posting for a while.

I don't have any chemotherapy, the ward is livelier than it is at the weekend, and now it seems to be becoming a good day to go to my favourite Italian restaurant in Balham, Ferrari's. My big bother [sic, with apologies to Harriet Mary Norton Chatterbox] Tom came too, as well as my dashing father … Continue reading I’m rather fond of Mondays

Yes, the big things such as relationships, be it family/lovers/friends, or faith, if you’re that way inclined, or perhaps a focussed ambitious career path, if that’s important to you, are vital foundations. But the little stuff gets you through each day. Or … Continue reading Bacon vs leukaemia

So, today is Day 2 and we’re merrily wending our way through this second phase.Was that a royal we? No, I guess that I feel you’re all wending merrily withme, as are all the lovely nurses and super doctors and a few Luddites who willnever work out how to read this but whose support is … Continue reading Day 2
