Yeah l had a very sore back for awhile in late 22, it got to the stage where l was having trouble just getting out of bed.

See l go see my doctor at who orders a scan.

Scan results show cancer stage 4 in my left lung and which had spread to some rib bones and shoulder bones.

Went on chemo for two sessions as well as radiotherapy.

The chemo nearly killed me.

I couldn't handle it.

Then l got approval for a trial using a drug though having matching genes.

So now l get dosed every three weeks with this gene therapy at the local hospital which is only two km from my home.

I feel pretty good most days and remain active my only bitch is numb feet which can be painful, I just got some meds for them but the drug makes me a bit foggy so I am keeping them to a minimum.

I do tire easily and insomnia pops up occasionally.

Other than that l feel fortunate that l am not bed bound.

I will be 64 this October.
