You Who!

 

A fractal with the title You Who! and artist name AmpUT overlayed.

I've been messing around for most of today with a very short tune that I have now uploaded to the Internet Archive. It's called You Who!

Smile


The dentist is done.
It's a requirement before going to oncology next week and before treatment. I'm now waiting in a cafe for a phone call from a stop smoking service. I really should stop before any treatment. In reality I'm only vaping, the real smoking stopped about a month ago. What I need from them is the tablets that stop your brain craving nicotine.
Time to enjoy my coffee and samosa before negotiating for something better than rubbish patches and mouth spray. I've had that before and in all honesty it made very little difference. I have a high nicotine dependency.
Hopefully their call will be on time too. No time to hang around these days.

Cancer

 

A stereoscopic picture of a pub.

It's time to resurrect this blog.

As the title suggests I have T3 squamous carcinoma of the right vocal cord.
As this blog still exists and is doing nothing I might as well use it to document what looks to be a very tricky road ahead, and that's just the treatment. Living with cancer at the moment, apart from the squeaky voice, is fine. Having read lots of peoples testimonials it all gets bad once the treatment starts.
It would seem that the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy aren't nice at all.

So this is where I get to vent and complain and quite frankly have a laugh at this whole ridiculous situation that I find myself in. I'll also be blogging about other day-to-day stuff just to remind me what I'm missing once they start destroying the cancer.

Oh yeah, that picture above.
Cross your eyes and a third image appears in the middle in glorious 3D. It shows what I had to look at on a normal lunch break in my work truck. I won't be back in that for a while.
Not so bad then.
