Hello everyone! It's been super ages since I wrote a blog page. It's been such an eventful few weeks with everything. Alot of close family and friends would know, but I would like to announce a fantastic victory in my hands. Recently, I had my MRI. As always I was nervous and very anxious. As MRI's determine your fate and can indicate if the tumor is responding. I'll cut to the chase, as soon as I got the MRI scan and my Oncologist came into the room with a big smile on his face. My tumor had shrunk by at least 40%! My tumor is responding to treatment! Praise God! Thank-you Jesus. Ten signif ..read more

Last couple of nights have been really tough, not being able to sleep. Long being awake by a thousands thoughts running through my mind. Its now nearly October and I don't even know where I am in the fight. It's not like a broken arm, you know when you will be healed, this Cancer is so up in the air, not even at arms reach to take control. Recently, I was out of action with a 10 day flu, which is serious because it can lead to death and can quickly shut my body down because my immune system is defenceless at this time. It is so hard to find strength and motivation when the whole world keeps g ..read more

''Do you ever wonder if we make the moments in our lives or the moments in our lives make us? Ever wonder how long it takes to change your life? What measure of time is enough to be life-altering? Is it four years, like high school? One year? An eight-week walking tour? Can your life change in a month, or a week, or a single day? We're always in a hurry to grow up, to go places, to get ahead…but when you're young, one hour can change everything… '' Over easter this year, very much came to a halt for me. Both the chemotherapy and radiotherapy all came up at once and felt ev ..read more

It's been a while since I've checked in and made another post. Feels good to have some time now to catch up on some things after some weeks of chemo and radio. Slowly catching up to me now. Feeling really sick in the morning with the toxic chemo drugs and face burns from the radiant heat from radiation. But now I'm finally halfway through week 5 and getting closer to my MRI scan to check up on progress next month. My next MRI will determinate alot of things. I am constantly praying that if I have any regrowth of any tumor, I will go back to square one. If there isn't a tumor, Praise God and I ..read more

Hi everyone! I would like to take this oppurtinity to thank my family, friends and my oncology team for getting this far into week 4 of treatment, and the amazing support behind everything.

Words can't express the word thank-you enough, you have all touched my heart deeply in ways I can't express. To my wonderful family in the UK for organizing a fundraiser night an ..read more

14th March 2013 It's like in that movie '50/50' a young man who is diagnosed with cancer and is asked 'Are you feeling numb'? Meeting and speaking to various people around the world who have/had cancer have this numb feeling and to be honest it sucks. Doing the odd 'normal' thing like making a cup of tea or sitting outside watching the view or going for a car ride and thinking at the same time 'I have cancer?' I can kinda understand what the 'numb' feeling is. Don't know if you're going to die anyday or with my situation go mental in the head, unxpecting the unexpected really. You have awesom ..read more

I seriously can't believe where has the time gone? Sometimes when you live in the moment you forget what the time is and things slip past you! My gosh it's been a long time writing a blog and can't believe it's coming to the end of 2017. So many incredible exciting things to share. My wife and I have announced we are having a baby boy! With the grace of God we are thrilled and can't wait to start this new chapter of our lives, just to think going back to the early days of chemotherapy and radiation oncology wouldn't think ever I would get this far, especially all the wonderful people for whom ..read more

So far, I have been working at St Vincent's Hospital since September last year. It has been a really good, back working and less wondering around the house, barely wondering around the house!

August 2016. No growth or skrinkage in the tumor size. The specialist Doctors are amazed at the remarkable state of health I am in and what an incrediable journey it has been. On Tuesday last week, I had my MRI and results taken. Officially the doctors have done an official measurement. I only have 3% tumour left. They can't officially say I am in remission as this not used in brain cancer. It could either be scar tissue or risidual tumor. This is the best news of the year! Time to embrace this wonderful news and celebrate!!! Woohoo! C'mon baby!! My eyesight has returned back to normal and reg ..read more

I haven't had any form of treatment since July last year. All of my MRIs have shown fantastic results since then. Results have shown no growth or regrowth of any tumor and it has been the same since July 2015. I am beating the odds and feeling mentally and physically well for a long long time. Everything is stable and good at the moment. I am starting to feel like myself again, even though I am still attached to this cancer, I must and want to start my adjustment back into the workforce.  Recently I took on a job for Turfgrass Lawn care company part time causal just to learn about a new i ..read more
