Why Start a Blog
First of all blogging isn’t something I ever saw myself attempting. My social media presence has remained at zero since the day I started a face book account. I opened a twitter account but his didn’t spur a change in my social habits and to this day haven’t up dated a status or sent a tweet. So why start a blog?
The answer is unfortunately as sad to me as it is compelling.
The short answer is that I have a cancerous lump in my tongue. I wanted a platform to inform initially family, friends and colleagues on my progression and wellbeing. I want to try and connect with others in a similar position at what ever stage of treatment they are at and ultimately with my first venture into social media document the highs and lows as my story unfolds.
I have ideas that I want explore and share around raising awareness for my particular condition and for cancer in general and if I dare look to the future, fundraising events and challenges so I can help contribute towards finding ways to beat this illness.
My next post will be a brief introduction to myself and my family, and try and touch on the passions and fears that make me tick.
I will also try and address my concerns and anxieties ahead of my next meeting with the consultant which will lay out my full diagnosis and hopefully the treatment plan.
