I’m a Positive Statistic – Testicular Cancer
It’s 8 years since I was diagnosed with Testicular cancer, survival rates are getting better and early diagnosis is the key. Check yourself!
5 Years in the Clear…
It’s taken a few days for me to get my head around this and post it, so I apologise for that! I had my annual Testicular Cancer checkup at the beginning of the week, after 5 years you think they’d get easier (they don’t and neither do me and needles!).

As I’ve just posted at Full Time Blogger, I’ve got my motivation back post-Christmas (for sites that interest me at least – the others can be left alone until the new year!). It’s been a busy old time the last couple of weeks, I got my 2 year all clear on Cancer (that was a comedy of errors I assure you!!), had a manic week at work, the business has been busy and to top it all someone slapped Christmas slap bang in the middle of it!! I will eventually finish reading Getting Things… Continue reading »
