Saturday 23rd October
In today's Daily Mail Weekend magazine is an interview with Adrian Edmonson. In it he insists that he is quoted verbatim.
"No one battles cancer", neither is is "a rollercoaster ride". "It's just a long, slow, miserable grind."
"This is just a really inconvenient, horrible kind of treatment. It was a miserable business and extremely undignified."
He is absolutely right. I am not battling cancer, I am undergoing treatment, which currently is really quite bearable. I have felt a little nauseous, been sick once, got a bit of a sore mouth and occasionally feel totally whacked out. The vast majority of the time I feel really quite normal, or at least normal for me, which is something of a moot point! I realise that this state of affairs will not continue as I progress through my treatment.
Anyway, I am just so glad that someone in the public eye has told it like it is. It's good to know that I haven't "missed the point" and that what I am experiencing appears to be what, at least, one other person and her family have gone through.
