I was admitted to the assessment unit and then the ward and nurses were just going around “Hi again troublemaker, how are you?”and also “we read the article about you”. Strange to be so “at home” in the hospital but everyone is really nice Beatson Cancer Charity #cancer

Who to trust, the scientists with several degrees, a PhD, ten years in the field, several published books and their cited peer-reviewed data or the random guy on the Internet who has slightly misremembered a conspiracy video he saw on YouTube

“I am happy I brought you to AE yesterday, you were so feverish I don’t know what could happen if you stayed at home” “I would be nicely wrapped in the duvet and become happily septic” I really felt as injustice when they took most of my blankets away yesterday night #kidney

Nice sunshine and this time I managed to get out of the bed and walk to the window before it was gone! Cool view from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital ☺️ #kidneys NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde

I guess this is skepticism 2020. (Don’t know they author) #skeptic #carthesiandoubt #descartes

It turned out, the partner of the year was right with his questionable medical ideas. He was saying few months “Just use the straw and suck it out!” as a solution for my awful #lymphoedema They did stick two straws in my kidneys. 😀 #nephrostomy #kidneys #Cancer

There are some consequences of #cancer still stigmatised - nephrostomies. Due to tumours pushing on the tubes draining liquid from kidneys, my kidneys were failing. This solution might be strange, uncomfortable and shame for some, but it saved me. #nephrostomy #nephrostomylife

Can’t listen to radio “I wash my hands to protect my family...” I though you wash your hands because because you are not a piggy person! Come home, wash hands! That should be normal! How many people started washing their hands nowadays? How many people still don’t do it? #hygiene

This is a fake link to OUR ExBio publication in Nature Communications, but with changed authors list. ==> THIS IS FAKE! @abolfazl_madani You have 24 hours to remove this, and explain me what happened. Then I will contact our legal office to prosecute this.

Unfortunately there was only solution for my ability to walk 50m. Meet Speedy! My ego is still getting comfortable with it but it is so awesome to get further! And an important note, you really need a raincover in Scotland 😀 #cancer

Researcher trying to explain why their Western blots have the same background as blots found in 500 other papers. And why they have no labels and variable cut-off corners. #TadPolePaperMill pubpeer.com/publications/1…

2020 in all the glory. I came to the hospital for the blood transfusion and they want to keep me because I am septic. Saying I feel fine just tired doesn’t work #cancer #sepsis

I am out of hospital, so time for baking finally! Christmas dinosaurs ☺️ #christmasbaking #baking #Christmas

Door bell rings and you would think “another delivery”. And it was a colleague with a gift box and amazing warm socks! What a nice surprise!☺️

The best gift! Some of the pieces are shaped as a sword, bat, knife, dragon, sheep - the rest is shaped in a crazy way. And it is all wood ☺️ #Christmas2020

If someone is interested why I am so afraid of needles, they succeeded putting the cannula in just 4 attempts🙄 #ihateneedles

There are hard times you really want your mum and sometimes, she is right there for you you. Like me yesterday sobbing “I want mummy”. I am so lucky and happy she could come to Glasgow. Can I keep her here? 🥰 #mums #mothers

New cool bagy hat my mum made me from the Cochno_Farm yarn! So comfy! New design already in her mind☺️ #winterhat University of Glasgow

Got my closest follower. We go together everywhere. I apparently look tired only finally and not like I was working 24/7 in agriculture. Those compliments 😀 #syringedriver #oxycodon
