Live

Blog now live to all.

I wanted to run a blog as a record of my experiences with follicular lymphoma and importantly as a way for family and friends to keep in touch with my progress and how Clare and I are dealing with this. So far this site has a record of my experience with this type of cancer from day one of discovering a painless lump in my leg back during Easter hols 2011.

Hopefully it can help people keep up to speed easily without the need to constantly check in with us.

We have been so touched already at the support and kind feelings sent by our friends and family so thanks for that. I am sure we will need you all. We are going to beat this and come out strong.

Really useful sites:

  1. Hey Al, loving the new blog. Hey! It's my current favourite!!

    I think keeping a record like this is brilliant. Good to keep a record and also a very positive way to work through it. Just told Anna, she's been away with the kids for a few days, very upset. Again, while your going through chemo, don't hesitate to ask for help. I remember I liked having the kids around, but equally at times, you wanted a bit of peace and quiet.
    Love you (there, I've said it, but secretly you must have suspected)
