Today I mostly went for brunch at #portheirias which was delicious. Then I looked for wigs. All the best colours seem to be low quality, and this is disappointing when you might need green curls. #lungcancer #wbrt

I have a lung biopsy this morning, fun times! Followed by the start of radiotherapy. A fun filled day 😂 hopefully I get the sensation back in my legs 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 #lungcancer #brainmetastasis

Big message that has been lost in the (important) "don't smoke" campaigns: anyone with lungs can get lung cancer ⤵️ (and unfortunately, they do and are often not diagnosed until stage 4 because it's assumed it can't possibly be lung cx in younger and/or never smokers.)

So, radiotherapy got a bit grim let me tell you. There has been a lot of vomiting. Thank heavens for the spectacular nurses and HCAs at Betsi Cadwaladr Cancer Treatment Centre #NWCTC #ilovecyclizine

So many think palliative care is for end of life, it is so much more than that. Early engagement and planning makes the big and the little things somewhat easier to deal with. #LCNUK #UKALK #endoflife

No hugs, no words can convey what I (we all) feel about this powerhouse of a man! Might watch it on iplayer to make sure it wasn’t a dream Sam Ryder #teamSPACEMAN

Ughh Mondays. All they’re good for is internet shopping, cross stitch, watching Buffy, having chicken dinner for lunch and enjoying retirement #mondaysarethenewfriday #BTVS #appreciationtweet

Extra good news whilst scoffing cake was that my radiotherapy has shrunk the brain tumours! And my lung tumours are stable with the medication! Woohoo! Still can’t get travel insurance though #goddamnit #nolasvegas
