Tea, toast and Tim Moore. Job done. Happy hemicolectomy

Home today. Inspired by Rene Vietto. French KOM Tour de France. 1947. After endless antibiotics for a septic big toe he said “Take it off, I’ll be lighter in the mountains”. So I’ll be flying up Mountains now that my hemicolon is gone. PS visiting docs give inspiring presents.

Some more touching than others

Tuesday 4th February was #WorldCancerDay2020 so my surgeon phoned that day to tell me my 5cm ‘benign’ polyp actually contained a 3mm Dukes A colon cancer. No further treatment required. #happyhemicolectomy and happy #WorldCancerDay2020. Got a journal in the post today.

Mortality per million population.

150 years today since 7 women stood up and were counted. Without them, and many others, lots of us wouldn’t be doing the jobs we love.

Waiting for action
