She had me at “what would it be like, I wonder, to live in a country governed by actual leaders, rather than the weak, craven, snivelling lapdogs of the leftie elite that we’re stuck with here?”
I will not be shamed for writing this.

Between Appointments ™ exists to provide honest, practical, lived experience support for navigating cancer and serious illness.
Our goal is simple: to become the companion we went looking for but couldn't find.
I've been fairly quiet on here lately.
Partly because going back to work had to take priority. But mostly because I've been building something in the background.
When I was diagnosed with cancer, I quickly realised that most support focuses on appointments, scans and treatment, and everything is spoken about in medical and clinical terminology that not everyone might be able to understand, especially in those circumstances.
What nobody really prepares you for is everything in between.
The waiting.
The uncertainty.
The fear.
The practical reality of trying to keep living your life while carrying all of that weight
So I built something.
Between Appointments™ is a new project based on lived experience. Honest, practical support for people living with cancer and serious illness. For immediately after diagnosis, throughout treatment, and beyond.
The website is now live and I hope to build it into a complete support ecosystem.

If you think it might help someone you know, I'd really appreciate if you could share it.
Everybody knows someone whose life has been affected by cancer.
You can also follow the project on here @BetweenAppts
And thank you again, so much, to everyone who reached out after I shared my diagnosis. The support was so much more than I ever could have expected, it helped me through some really tough times and I'll never forget it.
This is my way of trying to give something back.
My first appointment since chemo finished is next Tues, and I'll keep you all updated.

Now THAT’S what ‘patronising’ looks like.
And points directly to the chicanery employed by the Irish State & state funded NGOs. Expect more changes, this is only the start.
