Further to Villa's excellent result tonight, I'm also happy that my 1st PET scan since treatment has shown that the treatment is working well.

1 metastasis has shrunk from 56mm to 11mm; others have disappeared altogether. I'm being referred to a pain clinic to help with my chronic pain 🙌

Aston Villa were winless in their last 𝐒𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐘-𝐓𝐖𝐎 Premier League games in which they have conceded 3+ goals in a game (D4, L68).

Tonight that record ends.

Had another complaint. Someone emailed us saying that this billboard upset them because they themselves didn’t like dogs. We emailed back “well you know what to do then” 😂

I came across this excellent guide by Hyperresilient about planning events when you have chronic illnesses. Very useful for the festive season. I wish I'd have read this before my mini-break last week

Adding alt text to this because this is fucking amazing and everyone deserves to read it.
Saved by Stoppard Sir, In 1993 my wife and I went to see the first production of Arcadia by Tom Stoppard (obituary, Dec 1), and in the interval I experienced a Damascene conversion. As a clinical scientist I was trying to understand the enigma of the behaviour of breast cancer, the assumption being that it grew in a linear trajectory spitting off metastases on its way. In the first act of Arcadia, Thomasina asks her tutor, Septimus: "If there is an equation for a curve like a bell, there must be an equation for one like a bluebell, and if a bluebell, why not a rose?" With that Stoppard explains chaos theory, which better explains the behaviour of breast cancer. At the point of diagnosis, the cancer must have already scattered cancer cells into the circulation that nest latent in distant organs. The consequence of that hypothesis was the birth of "adjuvant systemic chemotherapy", and rapidly we saw a striking fall of the curve that illustrated patients' survival. Stoppard never learnt how many lives he saved by writing Arcadia. Michael Baum Professor emeritus of surgery; visiting professor of medical humanities, UCL
