This is Sarah, Patrick’s wife. I don’t normally use his Twitter account anymore but as I’ve written a final piece for his bowel cancer blog I’m posting here to reach his followers. Thank you so much for all the support https://t.co/JaTOGUbOhR

Hello, it’s Sarah again, Patrick’s wife. This time my daughter @AliceWymer has written a blog sharing her experience of losing her dad to #bowelcancer

I plan to continue Patrick’s blog but will begin to tweet from my account going forward @sarah_wymer

It’s Sarah here writing again on Patrick’s blog. This time I’m sharing my experiences of grieving in lockdown.

Hi, this is Sarah, Patrick’s wife. Before he died we agreed I would keep the blog going for a while so I’ve written a piece about cancer and coronavirus. Hope you find it interesting. https://t.co/wxEn0JF6No

This is Sarah, Patrick’s wife: Patrick died last night at Marie Curie Hospice, Penarth. He declined rapidly this week and died peacefully with his family at his side. Thank you for the support you have shown Patrick and our family @sarah_wymer

Grey, wet and foggy in Cardiff. Hoping I can hang in there to feel the warmth of the sun on my head again 👴. Who knew they did bald man emojis...

[Patrick Wymer @bowelcancerman]

@M_Adams2014 I enjoyed it, but don’t take that as a recommendation

[Patrick Wymer @bowelcancerman]

Today I’ve been binge watching COBRA #couchpotato

@WayneMJohn @jgiffo Thanks Wayne. Unfortunately I spend my time either in bed or on sofa

[Patrick Wymer @bowelcancerman]

View from my newly delivered hospital bed. Also got an inflatable cushion to protect against sores on my bum! The glamour of it all... #livingwithcancer

[Patrick Wymer @bowelcancerman]

@MikeAndNuisance Bit of a sea view at the front.

[Patrick Wymer @bowelcancerman]

@jgiffo Like your thinking!

[Patrick Wymer @bowelcancerman]

@SeaCasa1 The view at the front and side is much better over Cardiff bay

[Patrick Wymer @bowelcancerman]

@TeeceFox Yep all set up and good to go

[Patrick Wymer @bowelcancerman]

@AndyBoucher71 🤞🤞

[Patrick Wymer @bowelcancerman]

@coldethyl2 Yep, all remote control. I think I’m getting there with the fine tuning

[Patrick Wymer @bowelcancerman]

@PhilipCutler13 We’ve got a couple. Keep forgetting to top it up with feed!

[Patrick Wymer @bowelcancerman]

@Eddiedoyle66D We’ve got some just out of the picture

[Patrick Wymer @bowelcancerman]

@ElizAthertonSop Yep, bulbs coming through. From what I can see the cushion will more likely make things worse!

[Patrick Wymer @bowelcancerman]

@campaignkate Thanks Kate and glad the exams are out of the way for now at least

[Patrick Wymer @bowelcancerman]

Truly staggered at the reaction to my tweet and blog an Thursday about my #bowelcancer treatment ending. I think I’ve read all of the 1,200+ replies now and wish I could respond to them all! Please accept this as my sincere thanks for all the kindness and support you’ve shown me

[Patrick Wymer @bowelcancerman]

@PeteWheatstone @ElizAthertonSop @TMS Yes, all set up thanks Pete
