Well, despite
#Cancer
doing it's best to stop us, me and the incredible Mrs L have done 45 years of marriage today. Never thought I could find anyone to put up with me for so long 🙏 Here's a memory from that day. I had hair before the NHS gave me chemo!
I want to say a sincere thank you
@CPFC
to the medics and stewards who looked after my friend who had a suspected stroke. We are in block J family stand. He was taken away in the ambulance. A special mention to the incredible off duty Dr in row 23! 🙏
#cpfc
I am proud to announce the birth of my 3rd grandchild today! This beautiful girl was born at 0913 today. Bonnie Rosanna Lewis was a healthy 6lb 4oz😍 I never thought I would see another birthday, and now have 3 incredible grandchildren!
#TEAMLEWIS
Finally a graph that puts things very simply into perspective! Why is so little being done about
#Cancer
?? Not just now, but before
#Covid19
came along!!
#Scandal
Deborah's smile could make anything happen. In her incredibly short life, she opened so many doors, that most established
#Cancer
organisations couldn't. We must ensure that this momentum continues. Thanks
@bowelbabe
for showing us what is possible! 🙏
I watch the news and the amazing detailed statistics about
#Covid19
. But none are as frightening as
#Cancer
In just 4 weeks 12,849 have DIED in the UK, without even a mention!! That will increase as the treatment delays get longer.
#TheCancerScandal
Nobody wants to join the 'cancer club,' but unfortunately membership is increasing rapidly! Every member is special. Last night
@BowenBBC
@bowelbabe
and I spent some incredible time together discussing our treatments etc. 3 individuals with one purpose💪
Unfortunately, a friend of a friend has died of
#Cancer
. Just 40 with a young child 💔
I want to say a massive thank you to anyone working on the front line with this terrible disease! It must take an incredible emotional toll that many won't see
#NHS
🙏
To give some perspective to
#Covid
statistics. Currently we have 128k+ deaths in the UK since the start of the pandemic. In the same period we have lost 227k+to
#Cancer
(450 per day) Does anyone senior in our sector want to say something? Anything?👂
Incredibly these 2 lovelies weren't even born when I was diagnosed. Today I received this, which made me feel very emotional!😢Reminded me that my life is not just about me. I have an important role for others 🙏
#Legacy
#ProudGrandad
#CPFC
This is the number we should now be frightened of! In exactly 3 weeks 9741 people have died of
#Cancer
in the
#UK
Why is there no immediate action from
#Politicians
? These figures were not acceptable before the virus and certainly not now!!
#PatientsTogether
I am delighted to finally open engagement with
@CR_UK
and
@macmillancancer
It would be incredible if we could all work together to fix this terrible situation we find ourselves in regarding
#CancerCare
etc. We all want the same thing!
#StrongerTogether
Since
@YoursimPal
was featured last night on
@BBCNews
I have been inundated with more examples of
#cancerpoverty
Many are seeing this issue for the first time. Please feel free to get in touch. Here is the piece in case you missed it!
"We talk about improving equality in all aspects of our society, but I see very little happening for anyone with a
#Disability
including
#Cancer
."
Things incredibly are getting worse, since this post was originally published!
It is exactly one week ago since I added a count-up clock to my site showing
#CancerDeaths
in the UK. Since then 3406 people have died! Why is this not a priority? Is it because it doesn't impact the economy the way
#Covid19
does? Do we just accept this now?
A big shout out to my mate Matt
@BowelBloke
🙏 I have seen
#chemo
delivered in so many places but never in a garden! Sorry you're having to go through this pal, but love how you're doing it 😉 Big love to you all 💙
I just received some nice news! My blog is in the
#top10
of
#cancerblogs
in the UK, and the only one written by an individual. Good judging criteria too! Many thanks guys. 🙏
@YoursimPal
Naturally everything is again about
#Covid19
, but even today I am told of the death of another of my friends from
#Cancer
Not from insufficient care or lack of testing, just the power of the disease! It will NOT disappear whilst we look away.
A very sad day in the
#CancerCommunity
I learned so much from this incredible lady. We must ensure that her legacy lives on. Thank you for everything, we will continue the cancer challenge!
@Beatthemedian
💔💔
Angela is gone. At home comfortable. How lucky I am to have been loved by her. She was gorgeous compassionate tenacious and formidable. But not fearless: she was 47 and not ready to go. My god; what a fight! Death is missing an arm and a leg. Rest easy sweetheart. And thank you X
Watching TV tonight and seeing new branded videos from
@macmillancancer
and
@CR_UK
. For anyone affected by
#Cancer
there are many more than just those 2 charities out there! Plenty, very specialised in their work, but can't afford national advertising 🤔
If you haven't done so before,
#Cancer
is a big reminder to 'get things in order.' I had already made my will to protect my children. But due to many events in 2023, we finally sat down today to do our
#PowerOfAttorney
. Crucial if the unforeseen happens 🤔
I really didn't want to phone my
#GP
today (For obvious reasons.) But the phone was answered first time! My issue was resolved quickly and efficiently and was also assured I wasn't a nuisance😉 Thank you
@Dr_Ellie
and my
#GP
friends.
#STILLOPEN
This one has got me!! What an incredible man and family. The world will be a much poorer place without Sean. He could lift others even when his own body was failing. When things get tough, just remember this guy! What a light he shone🙏
#FuckCancer
I am heartbroken to tell you that our beloved Sean passed away last night. He was surrounded by his family and best friend. We told him how loved he was and how now he can finally be at peace after an incredibly tough journey, of which he travelled with such dignity. Cont...
I'm always looking for the positives, especially on a Monday morning! Well done
#NHS
to keep up with the
#Bowel
screening programme. My letter says I don't have

This post is dedicated to the incredible Sean O’ Brien RIP
@Oebs1
The ‘rules’ in our
#Cancer
community are very few and unwritten. We all express ourselves in the way that works for us.
Looking forward to talking about
@YoursimPal
up at
#Parliament
today. Delighted the decision makers are finally looking at
#cancer
organisations outside the big two! Thank you for inviting me.
It is exactly 2 weeks since I added a
#CancerDeath
count-up clock to my site. 6513 people have died in that time. How can
#Government
not even mention this?? This is truly a
#Scandal
happening here.
Thank you Jonnie, for what you've done for the
#CancerCommunity
since you were diagnosed. Yet another taken far too early from this terrible disease.
#RIP
💔
Well,
#Xmas
spoiled as Mrs got
#Covid
on 24th. Shouldn't be a surprise I guess, that I now have it and she is clear. Yet another club I don't want to be a member of!
I have had many incredible experiences since my diagnosis, both positive and negative. 10 years ago the wonderful
@missamandalamb
knocked on my door with her crew, to give my house a makeover. It was such an emotional experience😭 Take a look!
In the last few weeks, I have been mixing with some
#Cancer
'royalty.' Good to finally meet in person 'The Prof,'
@ProfKarolSikora
at the recent
@yestolife
function. Watch this space! 😉
"Everybody tells us how powerful the patient voice is. Lets see how strong it is when we speak together!!" Please join Jo

Enough is enough!

Hard to believe, but my little princess is off to school now! It seems like yesterday we were welcoming her into the world. My grandchildren are what helps my crazy world make sense.

@marklewismd
@BarbzSko
That's not an isolated opinion of course. But great response Mark. I wouldn't be here today without horrific chemo and awful side-effects. Nor would many others.
Finally got round the 'do not attend your appointment' system!!☎️ Today for the first time in 6months, I went on a train, and attended my beloved
@StGeorgesTrust
.🙏As always, excellent service and understanding.🙌 A lot has changed though!
#Cancer
Had a wake up call yesterday to how vulnerable my health really is.😫 I ignored my swollen leg, but yesterday in clinic alarm bells rang! Emergency scan today and straight to

team, incredible care as always
@StGeorgesTrust
Tu everyone 🙏😍
#NHS
I can't let
#WorldCancerDay2020
pass without thanking my incredible
#cancer
team
@StGeorgesTrust
Keeping me alive from 2007 when all the statistics said it wasn't possible! Still putting up with me and helping me achieve things I never thought possible🙏
#NHS
As many of you may know, I had chosen 2020 to write my book. Perfect timing as things have worked out, regarding my personal lock-down. But each day with
#COVID19
seems to bring another chapter! Could be another 'War and Peace'!😉
Tu for standing up loud and proud for people affected by
#Cancer
in the UK prof. The orgs that also should be, are conspicuous by their silence!
#Scandal
My final plea asking you to sign and share this petition.
20,000 cancer patients stand to benefit every year from using these wonderful facilities.
To have them rotting away is a scandalous waste.
Petition through the link below - thank you all.
