Tough news yesterday. I’ll need 30 radiation sessions to keep the skin cancer under control. With all the chemo for my Multiple Myeloma, my resistance is very low. Right ear still deaf and my arse still painful,but I still got out for a walk. Some days you don’t win

This morning everything changed. Radiation stopped. Tumour too big for the mask and the pain was unbearable. Chemo paused. No CAR T options now, but a new plan is forming with Patrick Soon-Shiong. I’m not done. We fight differently. No Retreat. No Surrender. 💪

First radiation session done. It was tougher than expected. Because the tumour is growing out of my head, the mask they clamp on felt like a vice. What used to take a minute was ~20 minutes today. But it’s done. 1 down, 33 to go. Step by step we keep fighting. No Retreat. 💪

Yesterday was one of the toughest days. The tumour made the radiation mask unbearable and I lay there with tears in my eyes wondering how I’d get through 30+ sessions. Solution found: morphine to manage the pain. 34 sessions. One at a time. No Retreat. No Surrender. #Cancer

29th radiation ☢️ done at Steenberg Golf Club ⛳️ The tumour we’ve all been following is slowly disappearing . We still don’t know what’s working… Hyperbaric, fasting, keto, Keytruda or all combined. Garmin readiness was 79 this morning so feeling strong 💪 Tomorrow chemo

9 months on and my peri-anal abscess is still healing, but progress is progress. My eye is feeling the effects of radiation ☢️, yet the skin cancer appears to be under control. Encouraging news. Off to Durban for some sunshine, warmer weather and hopefully a little golf. ⛳

Going under GA tomorrow and yes my face will change a bit. Numbers are down, spirits are up. That’s cancer for you. The growth on my forehead has caused unbearable pain. Grateful to Dr Willem Erasmus for taking it out once and for all. One day at a time. #NoRetreatNoSurrender

By all accounts, today’s operation was a great success Dr Willem took a big margin but left it open result: my face looks normal, which I’m hugely grateful for. Back on 16 Feb to sew it up. Incredible care from the anaesthetist,nurses @thecosmeticsurgeryinstitute, pain free

Back in the water at Virgin Active Gateway 🏊♂️. Swam 400-500m while monitoring my HR with Form Goggles and Garmin . With cancer, keeping my heart rate under control is important. Durban has delivered the sunshine ☀️ and reminded me how much weather matters for outdoor sport.

A week in the life of a Multiple Myeloma cancer warrior… hospitals, tests, scans and another skin graft (under local 🥵) hence the rugby/waterpolo cap 😂. Thanks Dr Willem. Staying positive and fighting with everything I’ve got, with Clare by my side. #NoRetreatNoSurrender 💪

Left SA last week and since then it feels like I’ve only seen airports, Emirates airplanes hospital rooms. Not quite the adventure I had planned. Sore backside, painful ears and deaf for now but I’m still here. Still standing. Still fighting. Not only for me, but for everyone

Last week I lost two close cancer warrior friends, Nicky McKenzie and Greg Blank. It’s a reminder how brutal and unpredictable this journey really is. Today I endured another radiation ☢️ session. Hard physically and mentally… but I keep fighting, also on their behalf.

10 radiations done. 24 more Morphine not quite working & feels like too many whiskeys, still pushing through. Fighting the pseudomonas bug with daily nebulisers. Hannah back in London, Luke still here ❤️ Stay positive, someone always has it tougher. #NoRetreatNoSurrender 💪

After 34 years with dermatologist Dr Len Nel, his advice is simple: ☀️ Stay out of the sun when your shadow is shorter than you are, 🧴 use sunscreen early, and 👨⚕️ get a skin check every 6 months. Trying hard not to look like me! 😂 #SkinCancerAwareness #SunSmart #NoRetreat

Swam at Virgin Active this morning, then headed to Christiaan Barnard Hospital for my Keytruda infusion. A reminder: Cancer is NOT contagious. You can swim, train and share a sauna with us cancer warriors! 💪 The fight continues. One swim. One treatment. One day at a time.

Quick update from the hyperbaric chamber. Some really encouraging news… a tumour we’d been watching is almost gone and my myeloma seems under control right now 🙏 I’m grateful for all the support, treatments and positive momentum. I’ve tried many different approaches

After a powerful weekend at the NTT DATA Pro-Am and a big moment on Carte Blanche with the Discovery outcome, I now head into surgery. This fight was never just about me. If it helps even one patient stand up to their medical aid, it’s worth it. Thank you for the support.
