Anyway, the line’s in and is planned to stay in for the next 3 months or so, while I continue with another four cycles of three weeks each, chemotherapy infusions.
So that was me yesterday, back in the Oncology centre in Cheltenham for my infusion of Carboplatin and then hooked up to my ’chemo pump’ which contains the FU2 Chemo that will slowly but surely be infused over four days this week. This is the third of a planned six cycles of treatment.
Then it’s just a matter of waiting to see what nasties the treatment has in store for me over the next few weeks, while I wait for the next cycle to begin at the end of August.
Thank you for sharing your photos! It looks like you had a wonderful time with your family and friends! Best to you as you finish your treatments! Praying for good outcome!
Thanks for your kind note. Glad you like the pictures. Such lovely countries of contrasts, sights sounds and especially people.
Fab photos fingers x for next few weeks don’t want any nasties putting you back in hospital.

Ha! I’m keeping everything crossed, but reckon I’ve got this. Glad you like the photos.
I lived out there around 8 years and miss so many things.
Just glad I was fit enough for that trip x
Wonderful pics bro – one really can see how you enjoyed the trip!!!
All the best and lots of strenght for the new treatment phase buddy!!!
Lots of love Jo and Tony
Thanks guys. Next big trip will be to Spain – hopefully Easter 2023, to catch up with besties. A few hurdles to jump, but that’s the plan. X
Damm, you look absolutely fantastic! To look at you one would not know what you are going through with your treatments. I have never visited Asia. It looks beautiful. My only views have come from many movies, the last one being Tokyo Drift. European countries. The hotel we all stayed at when you mum, Ros, and Les Beckler came to visit us was unbelievably magnificent. Keep happy and positive! I have found out it works very well! Love and hugs to mum and your family
Thanks Janey. The trip did me the power of good and I guess it does come through in the photos too. It’s heartening, the number of people that say I look so well – but have to keep up appearances, eh? Of course it begs the question – How bad did I look before becoming ill? 😉
Jealous? Why would I be jealous looking at wonderful pics of a warm tropical environment as I wake up to a 3 degree morning here in Melbourne!
Looks like you guy’s had a fab time over there; thanks so much for sharing with us.
Stay positive Woz – you really are an inspiration to all of us.
Take care buddy
Craig, Chantha & Madeleine.
Ah mate – as if I would try to remind you of how warm and lovely we were in the middle of an Aussie winter! In fact I feel even better now! Hope you’re all doing well though and parhaps we could fix up a video call sometime?
I’m very happy you were able to make the trip and that you had such an amazing time with both your family and friends. Wishing you all the very best in the coming weeks with your treatment. God bless my friend and keep in touch. x
Thanks mate. I didn’t realise you were back in the ‘Reap. I didn’t et up there on this trip – just stayed south.How about we have a video catch up in the next few weeks?
Great to see you looking so happy and relaxed Woz. Loved your photos and more importantly, the fact that you got to go back to the places and people you love.
Praying for positive outcome with your next round of treatment.
Take care my friend.xx
Thanks Di. Oh that trip did me soooo good. Loved it.
So glad you got to go. Keep fighting fit. Can’t wait to see you all in couple weeks 😍 M xx
Thanks Marls – it was the best tonic I could have. Loved every minute of the trip.
Yep, looking forward to the garden party – I still have to go to Savill Row, for some new togs though 😉
I saw some of you trip via fb and it bought back memories for both James and I. We really wanted to book our next trip but obvious real life got in the way. Despite everything you’re looking well, (I guess some weight loss and a bit of healthier eating does that for a body 🧡) and you and the fam look content and happy, so life is still great. Fingers X’d that the effects of treatment treats you well and you continue kicking goals. Hope we manage a catchup in Vietnam which will be my next trip that way. Not yet though, first Vegas 2023. Hopefully Vietnam and Laos 2024. Thanks for the pics and the update, now ineed to try a lychee martini
Lovely to hear from you guys and yes, a very effective but rather tough diet plan 😉
Enjoy Vegas, but save the Lychee Martini’s until Laos and Vietnam!
Thank you for mentioning myself and Lauren in your journey. It was lovely to see you again and hear about your trip.
The sweets you gave us were delicious and it was so lovely of you to bring something for us. We were overwhelmed, as you could tell, to be thought of.
We will keep up with your blog!
Hey Donna! Thanks ever so much for writing and I’m glad you enjoyed the Coconut candy from Vietnam 🙂
I have to say, you and Lauren make a worrying procedure (insertion of PICC line) into a painless and quick event – laced with good humour – couldn’t ask for more!
Just lovely x
