First - apologies for the late upload!

This episode is all about my move from Freeman Hospital in a Newcastle to York Hospital, one year ago today.

It’s always darkest before the dawn.

The day before I moved to York hospital, one year ago.

I had a day full of worries. A time full of worries.

Enjoy!

An episode celebrating the wonderful nurses and healthcare assistants that looked after me in Newcastle.

Sponsoring this episode (decided by us, not paid for by them) is Bright Red, a Newcastle based charity that helps provide better support for blood cancer patients through the nurses that care for them.

The most important person in my life shares her version of events.

These are apparently the correct version, as they are unimpeded by the haziness that comes with being the person with Leukemia.

Yes, this is a Taylor Swift inspired title.

Enjoy, Diagnosis (Maddi’s Version)

Is 6 weeks even a long time? Does my cancer even count as ‘real’ cancer?

All this and more in today’s episode!

I can only apologise for the sound levels in this episode.

My kids love to shout and can only be restrained somewhat.

Enjoy!!

Discussions on hope, comparing a lack of it one year ago despite positive signs, and a filling of it today despite difficulty.

The dreaded move from my side room to a bay room was today.

Along with a hospital hair cut and recovery from my eye operation, you are in for quite an episode!

First things first, apologies it is a day late!

As I wrap up some stories from the last two weeks, follow me to hospital again for a vitrectomy.

Be warned, this episode includes some gory details of what they are doing to my eyes.

13 days after my diagnosis, and I finally get to see my children.

Only for them to be unceremoniously removed after a short visit.

Featuring the wonderful aforementioned Maddi for the first time properly on the podcast:
