Russell - Blogs

It has been announced on Russell's Official Site that Russell will be doing a weekly blog. So I've started this thread for those who may not be able to see it on The OS. And also for us here at CX to talk about it. And it will be kept updated as and when Russell posts.

I think it's great that Russell has decided to do this. As I hear many singers, actors etc keep their fans up to date on things via blogs. I hope it continues even after Russell is recovered and continues to be a permanent thing.

It's great that it's not just the radiotherapy that Russell will be talking about as we love him for much more than just his illness.

Thanks Russell Very Happy

Isn't he an absolute star? Very Happy

What a guy! It's so nice to hear that he's feeling positive about everything, and that he knows how much his fans support him and care for him.

Keep it up, Russell - you WILL beat this thing! Cool

More news from Russell!

Hello, it’s Russell here again and this is the second of my weekly blogs, coming to you from behind a lovely mountain of cards. I’ve got to say, I have been completely bowled over by the amount of mail I’ve had and I want to thank everybody who’s taken the time to put something together, whether it’s a big card with lots of your pictures (you know who are you!), or just a small note wishing me well, they all mean so much. So thank you.

Right: the treatment. Well the good news is I still have my hair (a nurse even seemed slightly disappointed. ‘Oh,’ she said, ‘it’s normally started falling out by now.’ Then again I’m anything but normal...). The bad news is that when I have bad days they’re very bad, and I find myself fighting mood swings, aches and pains, severe lethargy… the works. I can’t lie: when it’s bad, it’s very bad. Still, the end is in sight; I’m well over halfway to the end of my treatment, and I’m more determined than ever to finally wave goodbye to my little friend upstairs.

When I’m not having my brain zapped by lazers I’ve been working on my book. As many of you have pointed out on the autobiography thread, It’s called Finding My Voice. I don’t want to say too much, but I can reveal that it’s still in the process of being written in an attempt to make it as up-to-date as I can possibly manage – plus there are plenty of funny, scary and just downright strange stories in it. A bit of light (and sometimes not-so light) reading just in time for your summer holidays.

Speak to you next week, lots of love,

Russell
xx

That was a lovely second blog post from Russell. And altho his recovery sounds like it may be a bit rough at times I hope the good days outweigh the bad.

I'm glad Russell's radiotherapy is almost over. It cant be much fun, altho it was very necessary for his recovery. As Russell is such a lovely person I bet the nurses will miss him but will also be happy to see the back of him as that means he's all well again. I hope this is the last of all the suffering for Russell and that his body starts saying, 'That's it enough of being ill and causing you hassle Russell. Lets live life again and have lots of Fun.' Very Happy

take care Russell Very Happy

It's so good of Russell to take the time and trouble to keep us up to date. Cool

Hopefully, the radiotherapy will have done its job, and he will be back to full health - and his cheeky self!- again.

Keep your chin up, Russell! You're doing great! Very Happy
