Hey, there’s something I want you to know.

There’s no easy way to say this, so I will be direct. On 6 August 2024 I had a CT scan to investigate a gastro-intestinal issue that resulted in me vomiting. The scan gave no answers about the gastro issue but if found a spot on my right lung that looked suspiciously like malignant cancer.

Since then I have had a PET scan, biopsy of the tumour tissue, and heaps of diagnostic tests for the cancer and other tests assessing my fitness for treatments. The current state of play is that I have confirmed early Stage 2 cancer in the right lung. There is a primary tumour (23mm), intense activity in one lymph node, and possible activity in another lymph node. All contained within the right lung and no evidence of activity elsewhere.
