The Great Escapade
Share my experiences of my pilgrimage around the world in May & June 2005. Text taken from my blog site “The Great Escapade”

In summary for those stumbling across this site who don’t know me:
I was diagnosed with bowel cancer aged 27 in February 2002 and underwent three operations, chemotherapy and radiotherapy during the rest of the year. I had several months’ remission before the disease was found to have returned in September 2003 in my liver and lungs.

After enduring six different chemotherapy regimes I unfortunately had to stop treatment on 8 March 2006, so I’m now into the ‘palliative care’ stage of my journey. My latest challenge before going to heaven is to write a book about my journeys, with cancer and travelling around the world, sharing how God has been such a positive influence in each - though my reduced energy is making this task harder!
