WOW, we made it to 3… where did the time go? I’ll start with an apology, I’ve been incredibly quiet with blogs, social media posts and generalnetworking, let’s just say 2023 has been busy.

I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma when I was 22, back in 2018. I had some intense trial chemo, which meant my time “on treatment” was relatively short at four months, but due to the intensity of the regime I was almost constantly hospitalised and the recovery after was long. Both physically...
