About
Waiting for the Bell is a continuing autobiographical series about living through cancer while life refuses to become only a cancer story. Written as events unfold, it follows Alex from the first signs that something was wrong, through investigation, diagnosis, treatment, difficult decisions, periods of recovery and whatever comes next. Hospital routines sit beside work, family, friendship, boat life and the ordinary jobs that do not pause for illness. Candid, reflective and threaded with dry British humour, it makes room for fear, hope and uncertainty without pretending to know the ending or offering medical advice.
