4 weeks into my 6 weeks of intensive Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy and what a rocky road so far. Had to get over my Claustrophobia for starters to even allow them to clamp me into that horror mask. Massive thanks to all the radiographers I have met and especially the receptionists who have all gone over and above to make me feel relaxed and encouraged me every step of the way. The low points have been the constant oral thrush along with very sore and bleeding lips which have reduced me to having most food as liquid through my PEG tube.

Well that’s me started my 6 weeks of intensive treatments including chemotherapy once a week and Radiotherapy 5 days a week. So far so good but very early days. I will keep the page open until after the Parlour Derby being run by Perthshire Brass who are making a donation from their proceeds,

Due to a brilliant offer from Perthshire Brass Band who are going to make a donation to this cause from their upcoming race night I’ve decided to keep this page going until the end of July. They will be holding the race night on the 8th July at the Saints Club in Barossa Street, full details to follow. I will be starting my 6 weeks of intensive treatment on the 2nd May so things may well be quite quiet for a while. Once again, many thanks to all who have supported me and given me the courage to meet this head on.
