  • The Onion

    Posted September 29, 2013 by Chris

    I've decided my mind are thoughts are like an onion where bc is concerned. I have the outermost layer, the brown covering that holds the rest in, I class this as general thoughts and immediate problems.

    Posted September 29, 2013 by Chris

    So as I wrote in my earlier entry I was diagnosed on Wednesday with bc. I'm 44 years old, originally from Scotland but have been in sunny WA with my family for the last 6 years. I have to say that since diagnosis I've been looking at the "twins" differently. When I was younger I was quite proud of...

    Posted September 28, 2013 by Chris
