MAGNA CARTA

Magna Carta was debated and sealed,  possibly on the Runnymede meadows near Windsor (left) in June 1215.  This was the first document to put in writing that the King and his government were not above the law. It was designed to prevent the King from exploiting his power and placed limits on royal authority by establishing law as a power in itself. Fast forward to today, and scandals such as the...

ELECTION DATE AT LAST

My American friends have had a few caustic comments about the date announced for our Election  - July 4th commemorates their battle for Independence from us.  I wonder if this is when the Great British Public announces their Independence from historical allegiances to the major political parties?

THE KING HAS HIS REASONS

The King is now getting out and about, turning up at the UCH Macmillan Centre,  looking much healthier and happier.  Hopefully his treatment is working. He has obviously listened to his medical team, who probably told him to ignore family members who aren't supportive, and has taken on board the wisdom of 'tough love.

Knowledge and opinions from eminent, helpful professionals

Check out the diary page – read my direct, straight-talking insight into the world after cancer treatment, drawing on my real-life experiences – which are sometimes bizarre!

Many whom you will meet in a medical capacity can be tight-lipped about problems that may crop up.  They may even try and brush them under the carpet, saying “no-one else has reported this”.  I suspect this is because hospitals often don’t have time or staff to deal with them. I have tried to list as many as I came across, together with solutions that might help you.  Look them up under the categories below.

Having fun after cancer is fundamental – for both body and mind. If you can’t laugh I hope this website can be helpful.
