Nicky Rees: I started this blog way back in October 2014. I'd just been diagnosed with a horrible blood cancer called multiple myeloma. But that wasn't the worst bit - that was yet to come in the form of a spinal fracture that left me permanently disabled. But again there was still worse to come - a massive pulmonary embolism that very nearly killed me. That it didn't, and that a stem cell transplant prolonged my life is testimony to the magnificent staff at Singleton Hospital in Swansea. After nearly 8 years in "partial" remission though, my cancer relapsed in February 2023. So, join me on the latest lap of this race against time as I indulge in sharing my photography and anything else I can think of with you.
