#cancer wife getting amazing support by Arthur Rank hospice at home care and the district nurses.
#addenbrookes #cancer the one thing that is really clear is how useless the hospital is on nutrition and helping people who are struggling with eating.

Such a moving image. It shows Viktor Korchnoi playing @PelletierChess - I think, at the Swiss Championship in July of 2012. Sitting nearby is Korchnoi's wife and companion of many years, Petra Leeuwerik.
(I have been unable to establish who took this picture.) #chess
#cancer Michael Palin talked about his wife’s experience on the ward when she had cancer. I can confirm nothing has improved.

#addenbrookes #cancer. There was a lovely kind man who helped my wife with MRI
#Addenbrookes #cancer my wife is still in hospital fighting hard but so tough. The nurses are great but the wards she has been in are just awful. Not the way to die.
#Addenbrookes #oncology My wife is so popular that when she came into the hospital she suddenly had 10 doctors and nurses around her (rapid response team, in case you miss the point here)
Remember there are some amazing people in this country.

#Addenbrookes #cancer My wife liked going up and down the lifts in hospital so much we have bought a Stannah lift for home.
#environment This is precisely what many people predicted when Labour came into power.

#oncology #Cambridge #Sainsbury managed to buy wheelchair from Argos today. Amazing to think you can go into supermarket and buy a wheelchair.
#environment even SSSI’s are not safe from parasitic developers

Sad story of depression I came across. I hope her book helps people survive life which can be terribly hard for young people.

Women have every right to meet, discuss, and advocate on issues that matter to them without intimidation or disruption.
It’s deeply concerning when lawful gatherings of women are treated as “provocative.” The right to free assembly and expression must be upheld equally.
Events that inflame division and create tension should be guarded against and @BrightonHoveCC needs better policies for which events it will host in our council-owned venues.
The choice of Brighton was clearly provocative from organisers and the problems caused predictable.

So here we have the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion (she/her)
Basically saying that the Brighton Centre deserved to have its windows spray painted and smashed up because they let women hold a conference there.
How the hell have we got to this point?

#addenbrookes #oncology we are so grateful to the team, my wife has come home with massive more energy.
#Addenbrookes #oncology they sent us on our way with a lovely goodie bag. We are coming back tomorrow to taste their special infusions!
