Testing. Testing. 1 2 3....

Well hello everyone.

I'm kind of new to this whole blogging thing so you'll have to bear with me for a little while whilst I get used to it!

I decided to start this blog for a number of reasons...

1) I hope by sharing my experiences I could provide some help to other people in a similar situation or at the very least provide them with a laugh at my expense... I will soon be bald you know, and that alone is bound to bring with it some funny stories!

2) Madre (my mother hen) has been nagging me to do it for ages and quite frankly anything that stops her nagging me is an absolute must (mummy if you are reading this then I'm sorry)! Even Papa C (aka Snoop Doggy Rob, his slightly less preferred nickname but my nickname of choice) has suggested I keep 'one of those online diaries'.

3) I have so many wonderful people enquiring about my progress but not always enough time to respond to them all. This way they can all read about it for themselves (it is definitely not because I really am just too lazy and this blog will save me time. No no. It is definitely because I am a super great but forgetful person. Chemo brain much?).

4) I love talking and blogging is sort of a bit like talking! Although I guess one benefit is that people don't actually have to listen to me (Naomi and Caitlin if you are reading this stop sniggering!). They can stop reading when required. It provides me with a space to vent/ramble and discuss anything at all that I want to really. People seem to think that this may help me and my battle with cancer and I'm up for trying anything that does that so let's give it a go!
