Chemo & Radio at Cromwell

In Cromwell Hospital all day (and overnight) - hydration, cisPlatin, Radiotherapy, hydration, Blood Transfusion tomorrow morning (Simon feels that the red blood count is too low) - so thanks to whoever gave their blood - and more Radiotherapy tomorrow morning.

Everything fine, except no wifi or Broadband, so I will upload pictures when I get back on the so called  Superhighway tomorrow.

Hi Gareth, just seen the news about your illness. I hope your treatment is short and painless and 100% successful. A member of my family has been through the same thing and looks to have come out the other side ok. With very best wishes, Darren, Nottingham.

I want to let you know that you can get through this with that wonderful sense of humor. My daughter's father had cancer, stage 2b. I was his caregiver throughout ... every trip to the hospital ... every meal prepared ... every ct scan ... and by his side every time he had to drink that nasty drink before being scanned. (I feel for you, cause that stuff alone is scary. ;))

You will be stronger because of it. Hang in there, and kick cancer's ass!

Dear Gareth,

beside my warmest wishes for recovery let me share with you the feeling of getting through such an experience: complete change of viewing everything. It's going to be alright and you will get new ideas for your future work.

Hello Gareth,
I read about your healh condition on HOME and went quickly to see how you're doing. Read all the posts and saw that you have been doing several treatments. I'm a nurse and I know how it is dificult all these treatments and dealing with the cancer. I think You're doing fine with all those complementary therapies and group suports. It helps you to stay positive, which is very necessary through the up's and down's of the disease. Nowadays it is more usual to see people get over it and continue their life, so "kick cancer's ass"!
In Portugal, there is a person who had several cancers (I think 7) in his head and he got over it and is still alive. "Nothing is impossible when the soul is big".
Don't stop posting.
Greetings from Portugal.

Hey there Gareth - I'm all the more embarrassed about the bottomless banality of what I'm just about to write, than I'm writing it to someone who's been constantly out there breaking new ground, and coming up with some of the most incredibly original musical statements of their time (yes, that would be you). But I can't think of anything I mean more right now than to say, I hope and trust you will kick seven shades of shite out of this thing and get back to the studio - where we need you. You've always been a true inspiration and one of the few people whose work (alongside that of Dan Miller, Alan Wilder, Kraftwerk and Bowie / Eno) got me to take the step from obsessing over other people's music, to making a little of my own. I can never thank you enough for the worlds of sound I've discovered thanks to you, so again I'll just wish you the best. (Great blog, too. Can we expect a Metalmix ?)

Hi Gareth!

I'm from Hungary, Budapest. Today, I hear about your "journey". I'd like to wish you all the best.

This link maybe gives you more energy to recovery:

I guess, The Lance Armstrong Foundation is a very good chance for everything about cancer.

Be strong! Live strong!
