My day.
Cage fitting ready for radiotherapy.
Gastro tube tomorrow.
Iโll not be listening to people crying about a bit of inconvenience to their lives over Christmas
Iโll be happy to swap places.
I got told I have incurable Bowel Cancer today
I'll be on Chemo until its either too much or I become too weak
No, I'm not alright. Neither is Mrs P
I hope this tweet puts your problems into perspective
1st Chemo session at 9am in the morning followed by Radiotherapy at 4pm.
Iโm sh1tting myself TBH more from the effects of RT. Mouth ulcers, swollen throat โtender skinโ round head & neck from effectively intense sunburn & else CT does to me. 9th Feb seems such long way away
Happy

Today is my Birthday! No celebrations though since due to tongue cancer limited eating or drinking (apart from Morphine and pills)
Follower notification make me smile though another 38 interesting peeps to get me to 850 would be lovely though โบ๏ธ

Someone existing on UC would see a wage of ยฃ30k as a fortune, A nurse on ยฃ30k might see someone on ยฃ50k as wealthy. etc etc
It's all relative
@JuliaHB1
@adamboultonSKY
I beg to differ.
Your tweet history gives you away, youโve never missed an opportunity to have a dig at someone
You thrive on controversy itโs what you do in order to raise your media profile
Your hypocrisy needed highlighting thatโs all
@JuliaHB1
@adamboultonSKY
While I wish Boris well, Iโm aghast at the hypocrisy of JHB
Sheโd be the first to twist the knife if it suited her and her agenda
On the bright side (you have to find one)
No -one can make me eat brussel sprouts this year ๐คฃ
The downside of course, is that there's no Christmas dinner of any kind for me. Just gruel.

You claimed to have the story. The. Exclusive of a life time, yet you didnโt publish - nor even say anything on your show. Must make you either a liar or part of the cover up

Thank each snd everyone of you for ALL your kind comments and support, especially from those whoโve been through this
Youโve also given wife & I much reassurance
Massively appreciated Thank you๐ โบ๏ธ

Well with people like you and Kier & Angela's speeches, me an ex tory voter (82-2005 until I went abroad) joined Labour today
My wife who was just as blue also joined... I suspect many more blue voters will join now JC is gone

The Tories cancelled Leveson " and teh papers are loyal to them.
Had Vine not been at the DM, her and Gove's divorce would have been all over the sheet with the details
But NOT 1 paper has published the gossip, because "fleet street" both left & right are all complicit
Coughing up bright red blood & puking so theyโve admitted me
They prioritised me over an A&E patient so guess I canโt be great
Thanks to Mrs P for getting me here and taking to hospital
@AgeingGardener
@mikegalsworthy
You're correct. It's an allowance which can be claimed as long as certain requirements are met
Mike being a "journalist" should know that but it doesn't make such a good Tweet. That's why Bylines is so pants

Update: went down hill after1st Chemo. Lost 5kg over Christmas
Admitted to hospital yesterday theyโre looking after mental and physical health
Not great TBH
But thatโs where I am
@piersmorgan
Why do you assume that it had a live round? Prop guns have failed before because a blank comes apart and leaves debris in the barrel, which become a lethal projectile when the trigger is pulled again.
Woe betide a Journalist does some actual research before casting blame.

So if you were that great a journalist, what stopped you breaking the Scofield story you claimed to have had in 2019 as an exclusive?
Come on Mr anti woke, teller of "truths" What stopped you?

No, for once he's got a spine and played BJ at his own game. Always voted Tory, but wouldn't for this shower. Hope they go down badly. But in the meantime BJ will only get the stuff done the opposition lets them - and your hubby gets even more insignificant

Chemo has shrunk both primary and secondary tumours. I was offered a 6 week break but going to keep going
Mega (seriously) breathless today. Apparently I have blood clot on my lungs caused by chemo, so need blood thinners to clear that.

Hello Musgrove Park my old friend.
Admitted to Acute Medical Unit (AMU) high temps and sickness (again)
Having finished my treatments itโs supposed to be 2 weeks without a hospital visit but oh no ๐ญ
I snaffled the last bed - but of course thereโs no NHS Crises
@DrFrancesRyan
I have a blue badge, incurable cancer. Rarely able to leave home apart for chemo and fed through a tube in my stomach.
And yet, I still manage to WFH on my computer. Perhaps we look at giving people skills and tech to help them, and give employers incentives to employ people
I just got off my chair to make a cup of tea and visit the bathroom.

Managed to spend 90 mins washing the car. 17 days ago I was barely able to walk from bed to car and very weak and poorly
Not yet halfway through treatment. The worst is yet to come but one day at a time

While youโre all banging on about Partygate
Iโm in Taunton Hospital. 0 free beds in Cancer wing Iโm still in AMU and will stay here. A&E full surrounding hospitalโs in the area are full
EVERY THING IS FULL TO OVERFLOWING, SOD THE PARTIES
Early to bed
No negative report from todayโs NHS Covid test so tomorrow - Hospital for gastro tube
Iโm anxious but am weak with little energy bc low nutrient intake
Need to get strong to make Mrs P life easier as she helps me through my treatment.
Sheโs an absolute star
@Debstu0
@bbclaurak
Look closely and read between the lines. Sheโs shared a major story from a competitor & congratulated them
The hidden message is that itโs a story she wanted to publish but wasnโt allowed too
While the Gov controls the license fee the BBC isnโt allowed press freedom.

If you read say Dan Neidle, who's a tax expert, you'd know that Sommerset Capital is an LLP, thus all tax is the responsibility of the partners not the company

Having binged watched 3 episodes I can highly recommend this.

She's also a BRILLIANT presenter!

The Mail said: "If that sounds dull as dishwater, prepare to be amazed!"

After LD's throwing their principles to one side in 2010 to desperately have a seat at the big table, I'd hardly view them as credible.
More so because Ed Davy was a cabinet minister from 2010-15 so was complicit in austerity 1, Brexit Vote public sector cuts etc etc

Nope you're wrong. Any candidate is allowed to, if they choose not to, or don't read teh small print, then its their own fault

What a stupid comment. Once Bottas hit Nandi he had zero control. His intention would have been to get a good start and be in front of the bulls

Why is this a surprise to anyone. Itโs been obvious from the start. Same with Farage. Theyโre all in the pocket of financial backers who arenโt pleased with the result so far

Oh Piers still holds a grudge and of course not happy the his paper lost the court case
He attacks anyone who says anything negative about Gemma Collins accusing them of bullying- and then does exactly the same to Megan and Harry - just to sell newspapers and collect a bonus
I've avoided mirrors since the start on my Cancer treatment. Firstly because I looked gaunt, then because I lost all my hair from chemo

You're completely right, and I agree. I say that form havign a close family member who is trans, and had many conversations with her
She and her friends just want to get on with their lives quietly and not be persecuted
Found out today that because Iโm on a National medical trial my cancer treatment which is linked to it wonโt be subject to any delays
While thereโs a sense of relief that my treatment wonโt be affected thereโs also a sense of guilt that Iโm being prioritised over others.
No Follow back Friday games for me, Iโll be plugged in to chemo again ๐คข
