I'm so sorry to hear this.
Thank You for being a part of the awesomeness here at HEXUS, and I hope you have as comfortable a time as possible for as long as possible for yourself and your family.

What a gut wrenching read.
Really sorry to hear about this, I know this probably won’t help but wishing you and your family all the best.
My dad passed away from liver cancer a few years ago so fully understand the impact and effects of chemo.

Operation Raise Your Glass continued yesterday. Given decent weather and a free day (as I was supposed to be bed bound after the chemo that got postponed,) we decided to take a touristy trip to Cambridge.
Visited the Fitzwilliam Museum which is highly recommend, had a guided punting trip down the river and visited the Raspberry Pi shop! Lovely place but I'd recommend waiting till the colleges open up again post covid, currently you can walk along the backs or look round the quads.
Bought a build a remote control car pi kit, complete with sensors to avoid collisions and ability to track a line of you programme it right. Was hoping one of the kids would want to make it with me. Turns out they both do, so ordering another kit and pi today. Be great to get them interested in programming it and should be lots of fun.
Kit gives you everything but the chassis. You can use the box it came in, or another box, or lego. Kids are planning to use different boxes or lego designs, decorate them etc to see whose is best. Should be great fun. Kit linked below if anyone is interested. Not bad for £20 (plus a Pi if you don't already own one.)

Really sorry to hear this.
Never sits well with me when it's someone younger and should have far more time to enjoy all of the little things in life. Although I'm glad to hear you're surrounded by family, even though we're a part of your life, I hope you spend as much time as possible with them to enjoy the time you do have left (I mean, that should go without saying )

All the best with the treatment.

Being the ripe old age of 60 I have so scared of this. You have all my respect and prayers. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Be strong and all the best.

This post coming live from A&E. Blood in my stool (who says cancer isn't glamorous?) + a low platelet count = checks for internal bleeds.
Fair to say I'm not looking forward to it and hoping the doc has small hands.
Bigger than I'd have liked...
Still, nothing untoward and home by 1 which is pretty good for an A&En attendance recently.

This
And this; but ofc life is not in any ways fair, and never will be - we're all on the same down escalator (cheerful) and the only way to live imo is (as you say, spacein_vader) to make the most of it.
Thinking of you, for what that's remotely worth, and sending my best fellow 'Hexus fixture' fluence.
