All the "Gorey" details...

    I told people that I would stop banging on about this, but I'm coming up to what I hope is a year in the clear and having a couple of people with similar experience saying that reading a positive cancer* story has given them a bit of a lift has made me determined to share it as much as I can.

    Don't worry, I'm not looking for kudos or thanks. Or even to be told that I am the greatest hero in American history. If it can make one more person feel positive about their situation, then that's more than enough for me.

    It was rejected by stickybottle, or at least they never got back to me, so maybe it's not as engaging as I'd like to think, but enjoy anyway:

    * As a good friend said to me "it's not really a proper cancer", so apologies. I do try and refer to it as lymphoma or hodgkins as much as I can as I know that there are people with cancer facing much tougher battles than I did! I just moaned about mine a lot.
