The sun has got its moon on

I think I’ll call this day international sunny-jordan day, today :)

Radio interview
Just finished an interview for the Spanish radio station rem.fm, which went really well. I am amazed at how well moleaware has gone around the world to be honest and how many people have been inspired by my key strokes. I never thought people would have responded as well as they have and I know you make your own luck and so I really do want to make it work and get detection taken seriously. Waste away on the nine to five, or stand up for what you believe is right, I know which path I want to take for the next few years.

I think there’s that feeling of the “sun’s really dangerous” going around so everyone is running around protecting the kids and stuff, which is great, but protecting them from what? Because it takes decades to show, if it does show, it’s hard to communicate that melanoma is a real issue, and it needs much more funding on the awareness side, because your eyes are the best form of skin cancer detection technology we have.

Solar Eclipse
Totality in Turkey was, well immense, I got back from the hospital (tell you more about that later) to see on the web, the moon slowly creep in front of the sun. Complete with sunspots, filaments, prominences and the biggest diamond ring you could ever hope to see (even bigger than the 1999 one), the eclipse was spectacular and very moving.

Hospital screw-up (again)
Do I even have cancer, its so abstract because I’m perfectly healthy, the way I get treated at my quote unquote non-cancer clinic doies make me wonder about the focus given to other forms of cancer. I was booked in for what I thought was a regular melanoma check up for today. Seems someone booked me in for ENT again, it’s quite simple but would take me ages to explain. Even though I was upset, I wasn’t about to go screaming the hospital down, it’s hard now to get cross with such things, because life’s too short. Hopefully if all works out I get my check up (2 months late again), in 4 weeks, 20th April.

Luckily nothing is wrong, there are no scan results or anything waiting and as long as I keeping checking my lymph nodes, I’ll be fine, I have to be, the world needs mole awareness and baby taylor needs his uncle Lee. You are more than welcome to join my 2 year No Evidence of Disease party 14th October 2006, 2 years is a big milestone for me and I’ll get there.
