Be Careful What you Wish For

I am a wee bit angry. Really? Me - with my reputation? Angry? Come now Emma, that's not like you......
I am probably angry at the wrong things. Like people who think up idiotic ad campaigns like this one for Pancreatic Cancer:
I understand the message they are trying to get across. Yes,...
"Too Young to Feel This Old"

Well actually, no. I am really rather old now you know. I have reached my prime and I am now on the spiralling downward, descending slope to middle-age and beyond. Which has gone past slippery and is positively lubricious! Yet I am not quite ready for a zimmer frame or a stannah stairlift....

Happy New Year. 2014.
"I'm gonna make it, bend and break. Say a prayer, but let the good times roll. In case God doesn't show." (greatest lyrics in the world courtesy of Fall Out Boy).
Firstly, some statistics for you (source Cancer Reasearch UK).
Cancer occurs predominantly in older people...
No, my dear, it's not a Noo-dle, it's a Nod-ule!

Yesterday I went back to Royal Surrey. To see Warrior Prince. Cue fangirl mode.
I had to wait over an hour. Whilst in the waiting room I swear I saw Neil Morrisey (or a very good-look-alike!),
Anyway, eventually he called my name. He said "Wow, you look really glam today. Amazing." I said...
You can keep the Tamoxifen, thank you very much, sir

Two months since I last blogged. And I am still here! Yay! Anyway, I thought I had better write something. So here goes.....
I started the Tamoxifen. I knew it was probably a bad idea. But then this whole "cancer" malarky is a bad idea, so why change things now?
Seeing as my tumour(s) were super-...
Move away from the cancer lady. There is nothing to see here.........

I haven't posted for a while. Things have been ticking along quite nicely. Nothing sinister to report. Good things have been happening too. So here is a just a little wee blog post. It's incredibly boring. Read at your own leisure. Or don't. It's up to you.

"Find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lips"

Well as you all know, the last year has been a little bit crap (what with the stupid cancer an' all!). Don't get me wrong though, I am not complaining. Although we have had some shitty times, I have had a pretty good year really!. All the way through from diagnosis to treatment and out the other...
"I am not afraid to keep on living"

Famous Last Words. My favourite MCR song. Sadly, My Chemical Romance is no more. But their music lives on. And that's the great thing about music - its immortal. I never thought about mortality until recently. And I certainly don't want to live forever.

The Blue Pill vs The Red Pill
25/07/2013 18:30
I always wondered what I would have done if I had been in Neo's shoes and had been offered the choice of the Red Pill or the Blue Pill? Stay safe with blue and live your existence, whatever it may be, real or fabricated. Or go with danger. Choose Red. And open up a whole new world of crap...sorry I...
Happy Cancer-versary

Well here we are. One year on. Last year on Friday 13th July (dun-da-dah) we got hit with the sledgehammer. A big, rusty, ole' mean one. I now have two birthdays (like the Queen!). One BC (Before Cancer) which was filled with 43 trouble-free, chugging along, happy years. And the other one. 1 AD...
