I have decided to write some blogs as a way of helping me to deal with what has happened, but also to try and offer some personal insight into what I have experienced along the way. A lot of which was totally new to me, so I thought that writing this down may help shed some light for you, if you are also new to this and experiencing a similar scenario.
I want to take you back, back to the Summer of ’25. The summer of ’25 was great. Lisa (my wife) and I started it with one of the two hottest tickets in town watching Peter Kay in Manchester followed by Oasis’ first comeback gig for years on a hot Friday in July. Read about how the joy turned to despair…
It’s the day of my operation and the nerves are kicking in. Read about how my operation quickly turned from a simple incision to a full removal of my skin…
Today is the day that I find out the test results following the removal of my skin…
Nope, I’m not looking to get my nose fixed or get a chiselled jaw. Today is when I decide what happens next to prevent further cancer or find out if more cancer is lurking…
Time to get checked out in readiness for my operation, including injecting the radioactive tracer into my arm…
It’s operation day number 2 where a wider incision will be made onto my forearm, and some lymph nodes will be removed from my armpit…
My dressings are removed and I find out about the results of my lymph nodes biopsy…..
Time for my CT and MRI scans and a nervous wait for my results……
It’s belated, but I want to say a thank you to the team of Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialists for looking after me these last few months…
Proud of my Scar
