Congratulations -DL- that is great news. Well done that man. I start my radiotherapy next Wednesday and I will use your post as inspiration. Are you in The Heath A&E, I've been treated in there when I had an abscess on my gum.

I was, but now re-stitched and home.

Chill for a bit, then bed.

Yeah, but there was a goal from Antonio outside of the box. Certainly a moment where you will remember watching it, like the Challenger disaster, Iranian Embassy Seige, that sort of thing.....

May I recommend a book that my daughter gave me to help you.

It's from Dermot Whelan a well known stand up comedian and Radio presenter here in Ireland.

He suffered from anxiety and is now teaching mindfulness and how to overcome all these issues.

He puts everything in simple layman terms and being a comedian adds a lot of humour along the way.

He makes meditation very easy and straight forward so you don't have to move to Nepal and blow your mind to do it.

This book has helped me enormously and he also has a website with guided meditation which you can access from a code given in the book.

Anyway for any of you who have anxiety, stress, depression I cannot recommend this book more highly, please give it a try. :heart:

Dude, fingers crossed everything goes well for you.

Cheers to everyone else for the kind words.

I genuinely thought I'd never see this day - set back after set back, anomolies in CT scans, biopsies, etc - always the anxiety of it coming back.

Whilst I am not going to rest on my laurels, I know I can breathe again for a bit, and head in to the future with hope and determination.

Happy, happy days.

Onwards and upwards, and most importantly

Come on you irons!

My other half had to check out of this life last June after her 15 year battle against the inevitable.
I've still not even started to comprehend that.
Love sent, as always.

Everyone doing OK today?

I've got my date for moving house recently, it's a couple of weeks out now. Mentally, trying to get myself to think about anything else is impossible at the moment. Just feels like there's so much to do. Trying to make myself a list for it at the moment, which will help me out.
