The 37th Wombat 📚🐝

Some of you know this already, but I see no reason to keep it a secret. My oncologist told me on Friday that they had done all they can, the cancer is still growing, and that I have months, maybe weeks, left to live. I have no idea what's to come, but I'll be on here as long as I can. #FuckCancer

Not a ghost, still Mary, finally managed to log in to boost this XX

Mary here, obviously

I hope I've not missed anyone who asked for a link to Michael's page with funeral details. Let me know if you asked and I haven't replied

There is now a tribute page (apparently now the done thing) for Michael with details of the funeral Not sure I want this on open Bluesky so maybe ask for the link & I will DM from either my account or Michael's There will be a live stream & I believe later on-demand. I can probably put that link up

Michaels funeral has been aranged for Thursday 8th January 3:30pm at Radcliffe crematorium. We will be able to stream it. Further details to follow

This is mary I'm sorry to tell you that Michael died late last night. I was with him. Thank you all for your support. It's a tremendous help.

@littlemavis.bsky.social I assume you're not allowed back intro my RIA

Time is a grand old soldier he is.

Thought of a brilliant idea for a story. It'll take a week or two to write. If you don't get to read it, then it turns out to be based on a true story.

#SundayPix #SundayPixMemorableFood The Christmas cake that our daughter and I made together. A few weeks later I got Type 2 diabetes for my birthday.

Just had emergency middle-of-the-night catheter change due to thorough blockage. I'm so tired of all this now. #WomsLastStand #CatheterChat #FuckCancer

The least gentle doctor ever just changed my catheter and bloody well ow.

Zorsted but still alive. 👋

Back in A&E after a few hours of absolute agony. I hope none of you ever have to go through this. #WomsLastStand #CatheterChat #FuckCancer

@mscatminder13.bsky.social thank you so much for the thoughtful and meaningful words. They mean a lot to me .

Don't care what he forecast says, I'm froz. Got the heating on.

Started watching Black Sails again. I'd forgotten how much I liked Captain Jack.

Unexpected District Nurse visit this afternoon to see if we want a hospital bed. Our house is so tiny I can't I imagine where it would go. She's sending a commode instead. It's like Carry On Cancer here some days #WomsLastStand #CatheterChat #FuckCancer

Since @wombat37.bsky.social has been so bravely open and unfiltered about his cancer journey, I wondered if I could encourage a #UnfilteredForWombat hashtag where we all share something personal and unapologetically unfiltered. I'll go first. I have a hairy bum and I hate having to shave it.

Going to treat myself to another lie down and you can't stop me.

In putting my faith in the restorative powers of a cup of tea.

I need several farts.

I don't like to keep repeating myself, but what a shite night. #WomsLastStand #CatheterChat #FuckCancer

Boo to the wolf hour, when sleep deserts us.

For the evening afficianados

Oh. My. God.

Doctor: any pain at the moment? Me: just the frequent stinging sensation at the end of my weenis. Weenis, ffs. I think the cancer must have reached my brain. #WomsLastStand #CatheterChat #FuckCancer

The worst thing about this stage of my cancer is that I'm constantly in fear of catheter blocks. The worry never goes away, so I can't ever relax properly. Except, young warriors, when I'm chatting to you. Thank you for the gift of calm x #WomsLastStand #CatheterChat #FuckCancer

I need a nom de plume. I don't like my name much, I'd like something glamorous and exotic. *pondering face*

My fingers are shaking today. It's quite hard to type.

Here we go... Look out for the full video of me as my character, Cleaveskull, coming soon. Please repost this with wild abandon, and pre-order the book. Paperback pre-orders should be along before too long.

That was a hell of a night. Ugh, ugh and thrice ugh. #WomsLastStand #CatheterChat #FuckCancer

Goodnight, young warriors

Oh bum, I missed Wolfenoot yesterday. www.wolfenoot.com

#GameOfWool is shit. Knitting deserves better treatment.

Me: how do you circumcise a whale? Family: what? Me: send down four skindivers. Family: 😳

If you want some background about how our four-way collaboration on the new trilogy came about. #SummerRealm
