Immunotherapy, Melanoma & the Wild Atlantic Way

I couldn't find a blog about immunotherapy that wasn't written by a medic so here I am, just a girl, standing here, hoping I might help someone else going through this.

Change of plan

Today I was due to return to work. I should’ve been sitting at my desk trying to remember passwords and what on earth I do for a living. I should’ve been catching up with everyone’s lives, hearing all their news – on my break of course. It hasn’t played out like that. Went to seeContinue reading “Change of plan”

What doesn’t kill you…and other hurdles

My family have all headed home and most people I know have already gone back to work. I am due back to work next Thursday and I am SO nervous about it. I am convinced I have forgotten everything. I know that won’t be true really, but I the part about being nervous is veryContinue reading “What doesn’t kill you…and other hurdles”

Happy New Year!

Just a quick post this afternoon to wish you all a very happy new year and thank you for all the amazing comments and support you’ve given since I started this blog and revealed the treatment I am going through. Christmas has been fabulous with my lovely family. As well as consuming vast amounts ofContinue reading “Happy New Year!”

Happy Christmas

I’m typing this in semi darkness in a silent house. It’s Christmas morning and nobody has stirred out of bed yet. I love this time. My sister, brother, nephew and niece are here to celebrate Christmas and once one person gets up today, the music will immediately start blaring out – probably starting with FairytaleContinue reading “Happy Christmas”

Red wine is back on the menu!

In an effort to bring you all bang up to date, I have skipped a couple of weeks but all you’re missing out on is annoying coughs, sore arms, fatigue and high blood pressure. Oh, and teenage spots! As you may have realised, the lack of red wine in my life has been a realContinue reading “Red wine is back on the menu!”

Santa’s Parade

If you know me at all or had the dubious pleasure of working with me, you will know I love Christmas. I love the run up to Christmas and whilst we are not a tree up on 1st December family, I do start to decorate myself the moment the festive month starts. I have aContinue reading “Santa’s Parade”

More Tablets!

As I may have mentioned once or twice, Mr Tafinlar and Mr Mekinist are the gift that keep on giving and the latest speciality is a cough that will not go away. On a beautiful sunny but cold day in Kerry, I trundled back over to Cork to my monthly clinic appointment. At this appointmentContinue reading “More Tablets!”

Hold Ups – the Compression Type

My apologies for the lack of posts – been a tricky couple of weeks where Mr Mekinist & Mr Tafinlar have made me feel a little bit pants to say the least, but I am an expert at giving myself a good talking to, so I am back now! As I told you, I wasContinue reading “Hold Ups – the Compression Type”

Dublin Bound, Baby!

This is the first post I’ve written on my mobile as OH has commandeered the laptop. So fingers crossed this works! I’ve already told you I met OH 22 years ago and fell for not only him, but for Dublin and Ireland. It really was a whirlwind romance and every time I go to Dublin,Continue reading “Dublin Bound, Baby!”

Bloods, Clinics and Stockings!

I was finally at Week 4 of my meds – not that I’m counting or anything, but that means only 11 more months to go. Hey, when I turned 50 – I mean 40 obviously – I spread the celebrations out for that for at least 11 months so I’m sure I can handle theseContinue reading “Bloods, Clinics and Stockings!”
