something to be getting on with
Wednesday, 8. November 2006, 11:46:09
Thought i may as well use this and start the blog about me and my thoughts etc. i went to see the doctor the other day and she said i should write a book about myself and everything thats happened to me and how i cope with it, well i though a book may be a good idea but i find it hard to write a letter never mind a book.
So, "a blog" i thought, and here's my opportunity. You see what the doctor meant is that with the condition of health that i have gone through and the affects of it that if i wrote about it it may help not only me but others too that are having long term health problems or any illness to be honest.
For those that don't know, and i actually don't think i have told anyone on here - maybe i told anne, i dunno, some of you will know i had an operation recently to remove my thyroid gland this was a precaution against cancer and the future perspective of getting cancer. Whisht! lads, haad yor gobs, an' aa'll tell ye aall an aaful story, ....when i was 4 years old i was diagnosed with having a brain tumour ( medulloblastoma ) and i was 70/30 to survive too - yet here i am writing this
.
Anyway, the treatment after the successful operation was both radiotherapy and chemotherapy. These treatments were directed at the back of the head, more or less the base of the skull and top of the neck, with me being so young the radiation also affected the front side of the neck, which in essence set off the growth of suspicious and possibly cancerous tissue. Hense the the op to get the thyroid removed to ease my mind of all possibilities that would lie on my mind.
Taking two tablets a day for the rest of your life is not the worst thing in the world for having a clear worry free mind, compared to the worry and constant upheaval of my life to keep a check on the situation if i hadn't had the op.
But i have only told you the beginning and the current status of my problems - other things ensued as an affect of the treatment i had too - but leave that for next time.
End

It must be hard to go through so much medical stress (or what to call it) as you have.

Use your blog to write down your thoughts. Then publish the blog as a book. Hey - if it can work for Fielding (and the likes of her, sort of) it'll work for you. (And yes, I'd very much like a free copy thank you very much.)
