Our lives have all changed dramatically in the last year or so. Personally I have found that my work has moved into different areas and I’m working much more internationally. As we have seen with the pandemic, the only way…
So much about the way our treatment is delivered, has changed in the last year or so. As always, some for the better and some for the worse. I’m very fortunate that I rarely have to visit my GP, as…
Writing about cancer most weeks can be extremely challenging. Unfortunately in recent times there has been very little positive to mention. This is one of the most difficult posts I have worked on. Primarily because I know the incredible Lesley…
