At July 1, 2012

Hi, all. Hope the weekend was good for you. It was certainly eventful, wasn’t it? I’ve just watched the Euro final and the incredible performance that Spain gave…what a team. Different class.

My neck hurts. I told you I’m falling apart. The radiotherapy apparently can give you these aches and pains in the bones where there were no aches and pains before treatment. It’ll go away, I think. Won’t stop me doing stuff.

Big week this week, what with summer fayre, reports, special assemblies and our speech day. I’m praying that God will smile again on us and be with us for all of these events. The beautiful school deserves lots of blessings.

God bless you as well,
David

Welcome to the David Baldwin Blog

Nicola believes that I have a story to tell. She thinks that it will be emotionally therapeutic for me to keep a blog, so that I can express myself as I journey through this battle with cancer. Cancer that the doctors say is incurable.

But there is an important secondary objective to the blog. And that is to raise enough money through donations and fund raising activities to get me to Mexico, to the ‘Oasis of Hope’ hospital where an alternative treatment is available, treatment that is not offered here in the UK. My hope is that I can join the growing list of patients who have been cured of terminal cancers, if I can get there. The journey is not only medical; it is spiritual.

It is therefore with a mixture of embarrassment and submission that I welcome you all to my blog. I will embrace this over the coming days, weeks and months and hope to share, inform and perhaps inspire those who are going through similar journeys.
