Today, a TV show made Adele cry. I came up to bed and she was crying. She said she was having “a moment.” It was all started by the Full Monty Stand Up To Cancer TV Show. There was interviews on there with other families and it brought it all home to her. There’s really…
Yo Adrian!
Today is a good day – me and Adele saw some friends yesterday and had an amazing meal, though I am sincerely regretting the decision to have a drink. It’s Bank Holiday Monday, I’m still at work. I’m in the meat locker. I dropped an eff-bomb so don’t judge 🙂 Somebody get the Eye of…
That moment the guilt sets in…
I’m on day nine after immunotherapy and I’m feeling this weird sense of guilt. I feel like I should prostate in bed, curled up under a duvet, feeling sad, sorry, sick or worse. I don’t. I feel just fine. People ask me how I am and I feel this weird sense of guilt that I…
My wife says I’m super human…
My wife says I’m super human – but I’m not really. Yesterday I was hit by that dreaded side-effect. Fatigue. For those who don’t know, this isn’t just feeling tired. This is bone-deep, you don’t have the energy to even lift your head up off the pillow. Your entire body feels like a lead weight….
Sun’s out. Guns out. Or not.
I felt tired yesterday. And a little under the weather. But it was bistro night at the farm which meant we had to smash out those dishes. I was really happy with the food we put out. As a chef, you can’t ask for more than that. I’m now on day six, and I think…
When bluebells just don’t cut it…
I’m on day five and heading to work for the busiest night of the week. I’m feeling great in myself – no bad side effects so far. In fact, my oldest son Henry has just reminded me with perfect detail that, no matter what, I’m still that eye-roll worthy Dad. Yesterday, he won his football…
Can we talk about the number two?
I was prepared for side effects. So can we talk about one of them? Toilet habits. It makes you go one way or the other. Watch the video for some very exciting news on how I fared today 🙂 Oh and let’s take a moment to celebrate my lad’s football team! WINNERS!
Positive. Mental. Attitude.
I’m now two days after having immunotherapy and other than feeling a bit tired I haven’t got any side effects – which is great. I got up later than usual which means you get to enjoy the lovely views of my walk to work, instead of my bedroom. Many people ask me why I’m still…
A number that is hard to take…
Between 60 and 90 people a day get treatment like me. That number is hard to take. Adele and me just couldn’t wrap our heads around the sheer number it affects. But you can’t ever forget that there’s people behind these statistics. And families like mine. I want to share my story so I don’t…
The moment it hits you…
It’s day one of treatment. I’ve been to Weston Park before. I should have been prepared. But when me and Adele walked in to where I’d be having my immunotherapy we both literally stopped in our tracks like we’d hit an invisible wall. We were both totally stunned by how many people that were there…
