Flying by the Seat of my Pants

When Orville and Wilbur Wright built and flew The Wright Flyer in 1903, it was the world’s first successful flight of a powered heavier-than-air flying machine. It wasn’t pure luck that enabled Orville to make the first powered aeroplane flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903. The flight lasted 12-seconds and managed […]

Cancer Health It's a Strange World The Indie Author

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Something weird has happened in my world, my real world that is. You would expect weird events in worlds I’ve created in my books, but no, this is a real world weird event. You may realise I’m recovering from cancer, I’ve written about it often enough. One of the odd things I’ve experienced is no […]

Cancer Health My Books The Indie Author Writing

Chemo-Brain v The Word Warrior

I know, dear reader, the title sounds like a poor man’s B Movie attempt at beating Marvel’s Superhero stories. Well, it is a very real battle between me, my ability to write, and my chemotherapy induced inability to write. Like many writers, I’ve always known I had a book in me waiting to come out. […]

It’s Only a Bloody Appointment

My cancer, Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma, is a slow to develop and exceedingly rare form of Lymphoma. It’s not, thank goodness, one of those cancers that devastates the body and leaves the poor host to quickly die. When someone famous dies, you may have heard newsreaders say that he/she passed away after a short illness. Your guess […]

One More Month of Chemotherapy

Well, my #chemo and #cancer sparring partners have the upper hand. My chemo is paused for a week and then the next cycle (and hopefully last cycle) will commence on 14th March. That will be 9 months of chemo I’ll have endured by the end of it. Assuming that is the end. I’ll have to […]

Thank Cancer! I’m Still Learning New Things at 68

Cancer is a terrible disease, not something you would wish on your own worst enemy. But it does have side effects, or the cure has, chemotherapy in my case, that have proved quite useful.

I’m Not the Nervy Type, Even with Cancer

I’ve never had a problem with nerves. Never worried about anything. To me, life is too short to spend time worrying. But what I do have, I’m told, is a problem with the nerves in my left leg. Does that mean my leg is of a nervous disposition. Don’t watch a horror movie or your […]

Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma Cancer: No Pain, No Gain

As I’ve already mentioned in a previous post, my Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma has got to the stage where my bones are quite brittle due to the chemo. That being the case, pain is an ever-present sidekick to this cancer journey I’m on, and, in answer to your obvious question, yes, the pain does make me shout […]
