62 days since lockdown & everyone saying it feels like an eternity. Try translating that into the 62 day standard waiting time for cancer treatment, and imagine how it feels when your life is hanging in the balance @GM_Cancer @GMCancerUI

@JohnMcluckie7 @locala Best of luck John, and thanks for the help during the time we worked together

Rishi Sunak announcing any old shit now just to see what might possibly get him a few polling points. Coming up this week:

- shepherds pie banned
- everyone must wear matching socks and pants
- war with Bulgaria

I just signed the petition calling on Boris Johnson's resignation honours to be blocked. Will you sign too? https://t.co/4KR0IeFLgg via @38degrees

My routine oncologist appointment @TheChristieNHS on Monday didn’t go quite as expected. Turns out I have a v bad lung infection so I was admitted to the Acute Assessment Unit. On oxygen 24/7 and being pumped with mountains of antibiotics, antivirals, etc. Prob here a few days!

[Ian Clayton @IanDClayton]

@forwardnotback Great news Tim, v pleased to hear that

[Ian Clayton @IanDClayton]

Massive thanks to my oncologists @KateGarcez @ClaireLArthur and my GP @drrebeccaleon for the fantastic support and for getting me through another year. Always grateful

[Ian Clayton @IanDClayton]

@SallyShelmerdi1 Cheers Sally, you too

Had a call from The Christie to tell me the results of last weeks CT scan. A few seconds of panic until I heard that everything remains stable and the drugs continue to hold my cancer in check. Nice Xmas present!!

@FCUnitedMcr @MENnewsdesk @MENSports Will @FCUnitedMcr be calling an EGM to discuss how much we should offer the Glazers? I reckon a couple of hundred quid should do it

[Ian Clayton @IanDClayton]

@LizHaworth60 A mini Bounty AND a glass of Baileys? Pushing the boundaries there!

[Ian Clayton @IanDClayton]

@SallyShelmerdi1 Hope you’re ok

Today is my 8 year cancerversary 🎈
As each year goes by, it gets more bittersweet. Pleased to be alive, but aware that the median lifespan with stage IV cancer is 5 years and so increasingly getting a sense of the sand slipping through the egg timer!

@Steve_Torus I was there too, my third Grand Final and Saints have won all three. One of the great sporting occasions

[Ian Clayton @IanDClayton]

@ethansgrumps @sqwawk Doh 🤦🏼

[Ian Clayton @IanDClayton]

Visited the 7th hospital of my long cancer journey yesterday. 3 of those for original treatment and now up to 4 for subsequent side effects, which tells you a lot about living with cancer.
Staff at the Centre for Infectious Diseases were brilliant 👏🏼 @NorthMcrGH_NHS

@Fi8988 @GM_Cancer Sorry to hear this, thinking of you and your family. I think everyone copes in the way that suits them. I’ve tried to see it as having a positive side as well as the obvious negatives. Certainly made me get on with things I wanted to do and places I wanted to go

[Ian Clayton @IanDClayton]

@NhsCreed The consultant is one of the people who failed to tell me! Spoke to her 2 weeks ago, never mentioned.

[Ian Clayton @IanDClayton]

Advice please!

You think you’ve been on a hospital waiting list for 2.5 years. You find out the hospital took you off the waiting list 9 months ago, but didn’t tell you. What do you do?

[Ian Clayton @IanDClayton]

@jaynieIO Awful!
