    Haven't posted for a while, thought I would give a brief update.
    I have had my first week of radiotherapy, the very first day was a little bit emotional for me, it's easy enough talking and posting about what is happening but when I am there and getting prepared it sort of makes it all real.

    I am going to work as I would like to keep things as normal as possible, it has been a tough week there, I was in charge on the shop floor before this and as posted previously I am now working in the office, well ... One of the other chaps is off with a bad back, so I go on the shop floor to help out...big mistake..one of the other chaps is a little hot headed and to keep this as brief as poss made my life hell., I had to have Thursday off as I was feeling really sick,went to bed at 2.30 straight after my hospital appointment.

    Played the ukops final and really enjoyed playing with the big guns, I was chipleader for a brief time, nutter knocked me out eventually, I may have played the hand wrong but hey ho, I had pok 7s allin to his raise pre and c bet on a board of 762. He had 8 10 , turn 5 river 9... There's always next time :)

    Thanks for the Update Tom.

    At least the radiotherapy has started, I guess the first one must be the most scary one.

    Hi Tom, I spotted you in one of my £5.75BHs the other day, I was really hoping to make the ft (and you too) so we could have a nice chat, but I busted out quickly lol
    Try not to take any sh't at work and shame about the UKOPS!
    Take care,
    Ducky

    The treatment is taking its toll at the moment,I have had 10 sessions of the 23 so almost half way,my appointments were at 6.12 pm I have been getting up for work at 5am then with the drive to Brighton I was getting home around half 7 pm.

    My wife asked if we could change the times as she could see that I was running on very little energy, besides it was playing havoc with my poker regging :) the receptionist was very helpful and she has managed to change next weeks appointments to earlier ones so that will be a big help.

    One morning I was going into the petrol station where I get my paper and chat to the ladies putting the world to rights I saw a big lorry pull away with the bloke texting, course that became my moan of the day as I entered the aforementioned and picked my paper up and started my rant about folk not looking where they were going...and promptly fell over the "careful floor cleaning" sign .....doh....

    thanks for the update tom 5 till 7 on a regular basis  is tiring enough for any body whose fully fit.
    on the positive note your nearly half way through your course of treatment and hopefully can start to see the light  at the end of the tunnel.

    your wife seems to be a very good organiser and I suggest her next duty
    should be to try and find a gap in your schedule and book you an appointment at Specsavers.

    take care tom and thanks once again for the update best wishes to you and yours  db xxx

    "....I have had 10 sessions of the 23 so almost half way....."

    Great news Tom, "only" 13 left, & the finish line for the treatment is a lot nearer than it was a week or two ago.

    Feeling bit down at present, without giving too much sordid detail my tummy is poorly,guess I'm just feeling sorry for myself and it will pass soon, hate taking tablets and am on quite a few a day, need to add some to solve my tummy prob sigh..

    It saddens me to see so much grief/argument/nastiness on a forum thread, I hope this gets resolved for the better soon,it's just the same in everyday life that arguments start from the smallest thing,comment,look,tone of voice ,disagreement on what is best way to play..etc..etc, we are all here for just a brief glimpse in time and making the most of it and being happy seems to allude folk,or maybe I read to much into it and folk like the arguments..who knows,certainly not me.

    Poker wise doing ok..ish, finished in top 20 or so in dtd1 and made it to the ukC semi again, but busted out,I will keep trying though,would love to get a seat there,give me something to look forward to.

    Thanks for kind comments all,I feel blessed.

    You've got to remember Tom they are hitting you with some pretty powerful stuff, it's going to have side effects. Good to see you running well at the poker.

    Keep on fighting!
