The story, from Day 1 (Diagnosis Day) of my husband Chris Cole's battle with cancer of the kidney. I wanted to record what this is like for C, me and our family, to support anyone else out there who's going through or has gone through this, in case it provides some comfort or sense of not being alone.

About the Profile Picture
Well to be honest it wouldn't really be that appealing to post a picture of C's kidney would it? Even if I could get hold of one. And I've only seen one anyway - the one the consultant, Mr O, showed us on Thursday, but that one has a nasty great cancerous tumour in it so isn't very nice to look at. So I got to thinking that it would be nicer to have a, well, nice photo on there, and here's the clever bit - C's dog (well he really is C's dog, let's be honest; he feigns interest in me when I am opening a tin of Pedigree Chum or extracting his lead from the drawer to take him for a 'walk' - which tends to be less of a walk and more of a 30 minute session for him to charge around like a terrier on speed) is called Sidney, but as our family has a tendency to play around with names and change them slightly, Sidney ends up being called various things - amongst others, Sidney Skidney, and so.....Kidney....and as he's C's dog, he's C's Kidney. See what I did there?
