Chemotherapy…

This is a very short no frills post about how I feel right now.

I had chemotherapy this week.

It feels like someone turned up gravity. Everything is heavier, everything is more difficult.

My brain has been squashed and feels like it is only maintaining the minimum of cognitive function.

I feel stripped bare. Like a beach when the sea has gone out and all that is left is desolate wet sand and debris.

But like the beach I know that the sea will return with all the vigour and life that comes with it. This is why it is worth it!

I am living with Stage 4 lung cancer that has spread to my brain. These are my thoughts. It is a combination of serious articles and more light hearted stuff (like my ridiculous poems). Early articles are a bit heavy, but hopefully it becomes a little more light hearted! This is not a self help site there will be no advice on cancer related matters just my thoughts. Just for the record my name is Iain Trent, I am using the Blog name of John Frank because they are the names of my Grandads. I did not want this blog to jump up to anyone who searched for me so it is a way of providing some limited anonymity hopefully without being a catfish.
