Rugby v Cancer, bollocks to the latter

Cancer treatment left me alive so no sour grapes, I lay in a hospital ward where people died.  With partial deafness and physically less able on my left side of my head, neck and shoulder I said bollocks to cancer. Yes Cancer fucked me up mentally, sometimes does now. 

It defines my passion for beating discrimination with a big stick in any form and I know what the value of life really means.

So at 54, 13 years off cancer you play 40 mins of full contact rugby against a military side for charity you must be bonkers as cancer fucks you up right? 

Nigel you have a life disability that should stop you doing this nonsense right ?

Nope plenty of problems, but never stops me or allows me to whinge, fitter now than I have ever been because I value life. Yes for the past week I hurt, bruised and sore but you know what I am alive, well and kicking and bring on year 14 cancer free. 

13 years on and giving back

So 13 years on and just checking in.  I am all good, the usual left shoulder and neck troubles as a result of the neck dissection but hey 13 years on still alive and attacking life as my picture in San Francisco Bay this summer shows. 

Hope you are all well keep attacking.
