Hi Dan 

Welcome to the forum albeit it under rubbish circumstances. I was 46 with a "squatter" in my large bowel, fortunately they seemed to get it all out, no spread and first after treatment scan came back clear.  I think it's great you doing a log as this will be very helpful to people of all cancers.  I've recently been helping a friends partner who just got diagnosed with oseophegal (spelling) and even though we all react differently I gave hints and tips of how I mastered the side effects to the best of my ability, he says it's been a god send and is so appreciative as he is managing his treatment very well by doing some of my tricks.  I will definitely follow your log and wish you all the very best! 

Take care of you

JB

Thank you very much for your support

Hi Dan, just wanted to wish you good luck with your treatment.  Have been following your Vlog and the liver op looked painful, hope you are feeling a bit better now, and have managed to pilfer a new hat!  

All the best, Hazel x
