Wednesday 18th March, 1998. I'm 16 years old and in my 4th year at high school. My favourite bets at the time were Placepots at big meetings as with the large fields, it was not unusual for the dividend to pay 4 figures, so doing a perm for 10p or 20p, you still got a nice return

On Aug 10th, a memorial stone was placed alongside Graeme’s "angel dust". The first flowers placed inside the vase were by his wife & 3 kids and hold significance to a memory of one of the first family outings as a family of 5 to a sunflower trail around this time last year.

Olivia’s 5th birthday today (7th Jan). Another milestone I can tick off. 👍 All set up for her getting up tomorrow. 🥰

A really short thread (well, shorter than my usual ones!) with a quick update. This is in danger of reading like a fairytale but like everything I write on here, it’s as honest as I can be.

The miracle happened! Thursday came, obs started to improve, temperature reduced, slowly started to feel better, blood results improved and I have no idea if I’m thanking God or not for this but I basically rose from the dead.

Kept me going through the worst times and I’ll need the support more than ever over the next 3 months as I put myself thru the torture of another 3 months of Chemo and the cumulative effects are going to go crazy but it will be worth it if it has any impact on the cancer at all💪

I’m home and being treated remotely. Far too tired and weak to explain everything going on but I’m fighting as much as I can, not letting this beat me either. I honestly have the worst luck known to man. 😭

I’m afraid this is the news we all knew was inevitable and it has crept up quickly but I am now at the end of my life.

Likely I’ll need to be admitted to the infectious disease ward and treated there. Given what is going on, I’ll be happier in hospital I think than being treated remotely at home. Feels like I’m in a lot of danger at the moment, slept all day today. Hospital best place for me. 🤞

Truly heartbroken, never felt a pain like it and cried most of today but had my family around me. Only have a few weeks left to live. CT scan on 9th will confirm the inevitable.
