@BigWoofa Thanks as ever, Mr B. I am so blessed to have the team around me which thankfully is mostly not necessary, but surprisingly often becomes so essential! I shall keep wrestling - the anaconda's got nothing on me! Keep in touch and thanks again.

A cancerous update for you - no bad thing, I guess, as it shows I'm still alive...!

@colorectalcarer Thank you Sue - lovely words and so true. And I love that hubbie is still under the bed - I'm in no rush necessarily either! Much love xx

Lots of time on my hands at the moment so quite a lot of thinking and blogging going on. This one is all about death and some might find it quite forthright. If you choose not to read it, I will completely understand 🙂

Compare the #DailyMail front cover photo and the stock photo they used - and notice anything about the people they cropped out?

@StriveforfiveBC I'm in the same situation. If I do go out (only to medical appointments at the moment) I wear a mask. Where's the harm? If I've got Covid, it helps prevent the spread and yes, there must be a chance it can reduce the possibility of getting it, even if only fractionally!

Hi @Barclaycard - after waiting to speak to you for 91 minutes, I've finally thrown in the towel and hung up. I know there's a pandemic n all that but 91 minutes on hold...?! Bit much, isn't it?

@martinjplant @boweliekate Not sure what to think of Lonsurf myself but will do as onc says! Was on oxali/irinotecan/5fu but had two allergic reactions and latest scan showed it wasn't doing much so (and again in part thanks to Covid19) I'm on to Lonsurf. Had heard it was the chemo of last resort... 😬

[Richard Bingham @Bingman1]

@boweliekate That's really encouraging - thank you. My oncologist has said she didn't think it was too bad while the matron on the chemo unit said it wouldn't be much fun! This will be round 54 of chemo in total though so I should be about to cope... Hope you're bearing up and thanks again!

My brilliant niece, being brilliant!

@GenEdwards @bowelcanceruk I hope you feel as lucky to be leading such a fab charity as us on the receiving end! We are blessed to have such an awesome lot looking out for us. Best of the best of luck in your new role.

@bowelcancerman @sarah_wymer This is the saddest of news. I'm so sorry, Sarah, for you and your family. I never met Patrick in person but his warmth, humour, kindness and heart shone so brightly, there was no need. Rest in peace, Mr Wymer. And all love and strength to your family.

[Richard Bingham @Bingman1]

The latest for you...

A very happy New Year (New Decade!) to you all and let's keep pushing on in whatever capacity we can!

[Richard Bingham @Bingman1]

@bowelcancerman Thanks Patrick. Challenging times but as you say, the hospice is such a fantastic entity and such a support it certainly helps take the edge off things! Hope you've had as good a Christmas as possible.

A short blog update from Bekky - I shall update things in a bit more detail in the coming days with a little luck...

@bowelcancerman While it's going on - whatever it may be - it feels like it's never going to end. And then before you know it, it's a distant (ish) memory. Thankfully. I'm not quite there yet but this tweet gives me hope!
