23.01.2022 Thanks to my good friend Hesam, I am often brought back down to reality. Reality being the present moment, and not stressing on the future. A cancer diagnosis ...is a sure fire way to get the stress juices flowing, but we often forget that stress and anxiety is created by the thought of the future. Thoughts of something that does not yet exist, nor is pre-determined by anything. The past is also something that no longer exists! At the very moment it happened it did, but it no longer does. So, nothing I think about now that I could have done can be changed, and nothing that will happen can be altered but can be visualised positively in the moment. The more I live in the moment, stop the what ifs, and what haves about how I ended up with a disease so many fear. The sweeter life becomes, and every moment becomes worth its weight in gold. https://www.gofundme.com/my-lymphoma-battle&rcid=r01-155108 https://www.hesamalavi.com/
21.01.2022 There is an everyday lesson to learn here in life, which is to stay present in the moment. The more present we are, the longer the day will last and ultimately our life. The less time we spend contemplating the future, or what could have been, is wasted time on what there is to enjoy now. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes a reminder of your mortality to realize this.. Here I am getting prepped for my Lymphoma Biopsy and my everyday mantra that gets me in the right mindset. https://www.gofundme.com/my-lymphoma-battle&rcid=r01-154995
21.01.2022 A follow up on my last couple of weeks, I cant even express in words how overwhelmed I am at the support we have received. I want to shout out to the amazing places and people getting behind me. My meditation expert - as funny as it sounds he is the first person I needed to speak to in depth about my diagnosis and how I felt. He ultimately helped me set the precedent for how I would deal with this whole challenge. I will be forever grateful for this my friend >> https://www....hesamalavi.com/ Our gyms organizing fundraisers to help support us! Advance Martial Arts Fitstop The Empire Bodyshop. absolute legends and warriors. Plus all the people that out reached out to offer me support, advice, motivation, success stories, free stuff... anything we needed.. people are f@#king awesome. Including friends and family that just came to cook me dinner, bring me food, have a coffee, and brought me supplements. The list goes on. If you want to take the time to listen to me babble, here is a follow-up, and what is next for us. It is a bit long.. But not sad!! We are done with sad.. But I am too tired and fatigued to edit all night. : ) sorry. https://www.gofundme.com/my-lymphoma-battle
20.01.2022 Our first step in treatment that we can control. Air quality!! I encourage everyone, especially in a humid climate to check these environmental factors for your health and well being.

19.01.2022 A couple of weeks ago we had a getaway from it all.. Only for a couple of days. As I start to understand this "cancer" thing more. The hard part (for me) isnt ...so much the fear of my mortality, if anything, life slows down immensely and you have time to appreciate the small things that you never had before. But, in the same sense, the small things you cant do anymore are the things that add up and become frustrating, It almost steals your identity. The hardest part is trying to remain who you are, or discovering that you are now someone completely new, with a whole new path to create. Sorry I have missed a couple of weeks with no uploads due to no wifi working in the household.. more vids and updates to come in the next few days.
15.01.2022 Three full days until I start chemo for Hodgkins lymphoma. We decided to have a day out to fatten me up before treatment, have our 20-week baby scan, and finis...h off some things needed for the nursery. https://www.gofundme.com/my-lymphoma-battle&rcid=r01-155115 https://www.instagram.com/tom_hempfactory/?hl=en

08.01.2022 We needed to get a daybed for a carer in case we need someone to babysit us.. It was a mission and the first awkward encounter with the public as I wear a mask ...for the first time to protect myself. It went pretty smooth.. got a few dirty looks, maybe they thought I had the bird flu.. My gofundme - https://www.gofundme.com/my-lymphoma-battle&rcid=r01-155245
07.01.2022 A PET Scan. The next step in the staging process for Hodgkins Lymphoma. What environmental impacts can contribute to diseases like cancer, and what precautions I am taking to cover all bases.
06.01.2022 I was told to freeze sperm in case of infertility for my possible upcoming chemo treatment. I had no idea what to expect or whether the situation would be awkward, natural, or normal. It was weird and completely unsexy. https://www.gofundme.com/my-lymphoma-battle&rcid=r01-155011

03.01.2022 One of the final parts of my diagnosis, so many people had stories to tell about how bad a bone marrow biopsy or aspiration is. Whether they had or hadnt had o...ne. Everyone is different in their pain tolerance, and all surgeons are different in how they deal with it. This was my experience, and I dont expect it to be the same for everyone. I spent the day in hospital and had a great chat with the nurse and the surgeon.
03.01.2022 dreaded the thought of staying in the hospital for the night, but unfortunately, surgery went too long and too late so I had to. But they gave me some good drugs so I thought at least I will get a good night sleep. Boy was I wrong.. The earplugs and morphine did nothing.

01.01.2022 Here is what I am dealing with, a muffin monster and a rare cancer that more people than I can poke a stick seem to have, who have been reaching out to me for... support. It was a rough week to say the least, I was down for a little on the day of diagnosis. But no time for that shit now. I got a body to clean and baby to meet https://www.gofundme.com/my-lymphoma-battle
