Got married again to a lovely lass after losing my wife two years ago to cancer

Daughter decided she's not so keen as a teen to come fishing with her old man

Bought 4 new rods and haven't used any of them yet...

I actually got to fish Horshoe, only 2 nights, but it's somewhere I've always wanted to fish.
Travelled over with by best mate which was a bonus.
Snapped my 2 ECU alarm cases too....ffs!

Thanks mate.

The fortunate thing is I had no side effects from it or the treatment. Worked full time, gym, overnights even on school nights. Mentally very hard at times, effing hard tbh. I must be one of the lucky ones. Could write a book on the experience but I won't but I need to raise awareness of skin cancers that spread to other areas of the body. ( in my case the liver).

All I can say is be very aware and careful when out fishing. I always keep out of the sun and it still got me. Over 100 hospital trips over 3 years is not what I had ever thought I would experience tbh. It's one club I never thought I would be in.

Definitely worth getting anything suspicious checked out. Never leave it.

Congrats to those in remission.

I got the all clear June 2020 after having Hodgkin's Lymphoma discovered March 2020 (after 3 months of bouncing around hospitals having tests/scans/biopsies).

I was also lucky and had a pretty easy ride getting better (other than puking during/after chemo a few times). Not the ideal time to have zero immune system either, just as COVID became an issue.

It does make each fishing trip feel like a bonus/extra one now so I appreciate things more
