Well, the end of the Attack of Lumps was sadly not the end. I now have recurrent diffuse B-Cell Lymphoma, and that's going to be a bitch to treat.
I will get another four rounds of very heavy chemo, then they will basically do a bone marrow transplant with my own cells.
I am more likely to live than not, but it is going to be rather draining, and so after six jolly years of warbling nonsense in this blog, I am signing off.
Thanks for being a reader, and I hope that I managed to make a few people smile.
Thanks for all the fish. May the be lumps be gone.

I've been reading your sane and mordant views on the euro for quite a while. And learning some life lessons on the way. I hope I'll see this blog come back in happier times.
