Anyone need a quirky rubber head and display stand? 🤔

When I came out of the house today, quite a big spider had decided to block the front path by spreading a web across it and sitting smack in the middle like some terrible arachnoid Gandalf. (1/2)

I decided to have toast for breakfast.

This is only controversial when, like me, you're in your fourth week of radiotherapy and your mouth is inflamed and ulcerated.

I am slowly munching through the toast. It doesn't taste 100% like toast, but it is toast nonetheless.

I have requested that my cancer radiotherapy team play @judaspriestof.bsky.social's Breaking The Law while I'm having my 19th zap tomorrow. Watch this space ⚡️🤘

Today was my 13th day of cancer radiotherapy - and it was unlucky in some ways.

The machine was playing up and my session almost had to be postponed.

My cab driver quacked about how aggrieved he was with how the hospital had booked him, until he finally got the message from my silence. (1/3)

When this whole cancer nonsense began, I 'banked' my voice by recording various voice samples.

Now that radiotherapy has started to bring the joy of mouth ulcers, it's become harder to speak. So I'm gonna turn those samples into an AI model of my speech. Could be very handy.

5 things I learned during my first week of cancer radiotherapy:

1) Radiotherapy is delivered by an enormous machine that, as some onlookers noted earlier in the week, looks a bit like the robot Drathro from #DoctorWho.

2 days to go: on Monday me + my boys move into the London place, just as daily cancer radiotherapy begins 👀⚡️

1st month’s rent is now covered ❤️ Thank you!

Target = £22K (we’re at £20,902). Hitting it means month 2 is secure + I can breathe a bit easier.

Link in bio if you can help 🙏

When you're not always in the same city as your children, a simple moment of online connection like this means EVERYTHING.

I didn't expect Roblox to be quite this wonderful.

Certainly didnt expect it to make me cry happy tears.

Three days now until my radiotherapy begins.

Kinda looking forward to getting started, which is odd considering I'll be zapped in the head with radiation every weekday for 6 weeks.

Also quite looking forward to the experience of living in London again for the 2/3 months of treatment/ recovery.

On Monday, radiotherapy will start to blast my taste buds, among other things.

So let's make the most of things now. 🥳

Just make it exist first. You can make it worse with each new pass while getting increasingly frustrated later.

Visiting my mum, to take a break from all the stressful logistics of moving to London for imminent radiotherapy treatment. An oasis of peace, quiet and a roast dinner later today. 🥳

Out Monday! The wildly creative Doctor Who Season 2, spread across 7 Blu Rays.

A single steelbox houses those discs poorly - but check the optics! And of course the contents, including 8 eps of DW Unleashed.

🚨 Awkward segue: want to help me exterminate my cancer? My GoFundMe link is in my bio ❤️👊

🚨 Just six days from now, I need to be living in London, ready to start gruelling radiotherapy treatment and keep life as normal as possible for my children.

👊 If you can help, the GoFundMe link’s in my bio.

❤️ Every share and every donation - big or small - makes a real difference. Thank you!

Kicked off the day with coffee in Ravenscourt Park, before a full day of flat-hunting.

I’ve got just 7 days to find somewhere to stay during my cancer treatment, and I need to be ready to move fast when the right place appears.

Can you help make that possible? The GoFundMe link is in my bio 😊👊❤️

I made a book! With Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock and @0tralala.bsky.social! This book was a complete labour of love for me, and such a pleasure to illustrate and design. All 192 pages, and the cover too! Check out the Amazon page for a sneak peak at the interiors too: www.amazon.co.uk/BBC-Story-Sy...

Jason Arnopp helped me when I needed a place to express myself. I wasn’t the only one. Several writers found solace in his safe space.

Please, if you can, help him in his search for new accommodations while he fights cancer.

A thermoplastic mask moulded to my head & shoulders, then clamped to a rack for a CT scan.

Next: 6 wks of radiotherapy to wipe out any trace of cancer, while parenting my twin boys

Treatment + somewhere to live by the hospital = survival. Without both, the plan fails.

I have just 10 DAYS to find, pay for & move into London accommodation where my young twins and I can stay during 10 weeks of radiotherapy cancer treatment & recovery. 👀

GoFundMe already helped me cover timely & super-precise radiotherapy - can you help me sort somewhere to stay?

Link in bio. 😊👊❤🤘
