 Well good evening everyone and yes its early , which is nice for a change isnt it , thanks to all who read and commented yesterday , hope your not getting bored 2 days treatment left .

Today transport on time just as the heavens opened  Hail Sleet heavy rain awful , anyway got there safe a straight down to Dept 39 and Suit 4 , check in just a couple in front so a good chance of early escape today ,Ooops shouldnt have said that , anyway read a bit more of my book and not long before called in By Mal a   French Lady so in I go Rhianne already in there warming up Ray for me , Top off then need help to remove the Neck Protector  ,Mal helps then applies Cling film on the affected areas then Mask time . no issues today whizzy whizz and I am cooked , cling film removed and neck protector replaced with Mals help thats it dressed and away to transport .

On the way I meet up with my mate Jimmy from Old Trafford with his Dad who are just arriving , I hate to think what the Odds on this are ? Off to Transport and check in , get the Book out and my name called out , brilliant early escape , though again awful weather .

When I arrive home all my extra Prescription stuff has  arrived which is great I am self sufficient now with 3 boxes x 4 Medicated Polyrolls  in each box and 4 big tubes of Flaminal Hydro Ointment , expensive stuff , anyway any further reaction after  next week and I am prepared , The 6 Ps strike again

So back Tomorrow , start with Bloods then Treatment this will be my Last using Transport , thankfully but it fulfilled its purpose .

Thats it folks enjoy

Night Night

    Hi Tom, end day 3 ….other than the weather, a fairly smooth day, it’s typical just when you get into the swing of things, it’s coming to an end, I am sure the last nearly 6 weeks…yes 6 weeks, won’t be missed. I’ll catch you over the weekend on our other blog..lol. Hope you’re felling good right now Tom and how far you have come, what you have got through on your own is amazing. We’ll be with you all through the coming weeks of rehab, especially the bell ringing in 6 weeks time…. and beyond
    Day 2 tomorrow….❤️❤️🫶🫶

      6P's = Prior Preparation & Planning Prevents Poor Preformance. An old saying from our army days which still serves us well in civilian life. 🤣🤣

    You won't know what to do with yourself once this is over! Glad it's been a straightforward kind of day, nothing extra to contend with. Just clingwrapped like a Sainsburys turkey 😉 Weather here in Palma a bit autumnal, still didn't stop us being the idiots we are and swimming in the sea, much to the amusement of the many German onlookers! You wouldn't do that, would you ;) x

    Just realised I only used 5 Ps in my song!

    Great that towards the end, you’ve had some easier days where all works like clockwork!

CANCER UPDATE 10 - 03-25 Monday

 Good evening everyone , well its been a long time since the 7 th October 2024 , there has been a lot happening behind the scenes that are ongoing and nothing relative to my Cancer Treatment itself so I wont be referring to those in this Blog at all . On the 23 rd October 2023 I attended North Manchester General Hospital for an Appointment with the Consultant Mr Baldwin , who the previous week had carried out an  Investigation on my throat under a General Anesthetic to obtain Biopsies from the base of my tongue , Mr Baldwin is a very nice man and was very open with me as I had requested at a previous appointment . " Well  Mr Slattery I am sorry to inform you of this but you have a Throat Cancer " !!  ,I will never forget those words and their impact on me , my Life turned upside down in an instant , Where , What , How ?? so many questions but sadly no real answers to them , I was a Victim of an ever increasing Disease .          But he assure...

Blog Update Monday 7-10-24 Appointment 32 of 2024 North Manchester General Hospital

 Well its been a while since I last bored you all with an Update , some things have been Happening that did not warrant me doing a Blog but I have  an update that is worth mentioning .                                          It is almost 12 months since Mr Baldwin said those words  YOU HAVE A THROAT  VIRUS CANCER  Since then I have shared my Journey with you all and its been a tough one indeed, to that end this will probably be The LAST BLOG that I write unless there are any Major Developments  . You are aware that I took the Decision to Decline the Major Neck Dissection Surgery at this time and requested another PET Scan which was granted and done at MRI , Today I attended North Manchester General Hospital to get the Results of that Scan . I will have my usual moan first , my appointment was for the 23 rd September but was cancelled at Short notice due...

 So END OF WEEK 6 , Day 30 ,Treatment 30 !! THE END   Forgive me if I write rubbish tonight I am a bit  of an Emotional wreck. First of all thank you to all those who read and commented on my Last Blog in 2023 , wow another Year gone, its much appreciated  I assure you . So today Bev Heath very kindly drove me to Christies for my last treatment , so no waiting or wondering if my Taxi would arrive or not . Bev arrived at mu house and after a quick chat we were away in awful weather conditions , but Bev is an excellent driver and drove to the conditions  and we arrived in Plenty of Time and found a parking spot on the street very close to Christies so just a short walk around the corner to Christies . So on arrival I am due to have Bloods taken again so round we go to Dept 1 to check in , no problem , then over to check in at Bloods and they tell me they have no papers for me and someone is bringing them down from the Office !! so Bev and I take a seat and ch...
