My name is Ciaran McQueen, In the middle of November 2011 I was diagnosed with cancer of the nasopharynx (the bit behind your nose, near your sinuses). In October 2015 during a check up to investigate an on-going ear infection I was told my cancer had returned. I have set up this blog for a couple of reasons. The main reason is to be able to allow friends and family to track progress and hopefully serve to reassure that everything is on track and going as it should.

Tuning Bad Times into Good times!
Having just returned from hospital, feeling pretty worn down, and as the nurse said as I left "nights like that feel like partying but with out the party!" I would have to agree.
Anyway, a large package was waiting for me on the doorstep as I arrived home... to my amazement I tear it open to reveal an awesome care package from the boys in the Cancer Bats!!! We all met up a few Summers ago while I was working as a surfing coach and as a break from their Uk tour we headed out for a surf over at Crantock, which everyone loved and a rad time was had by all! It's certainly a day that stands out in my mind, not just because I got to teach one of my favorite bands a little bit about surfing, but it was also a pleasure to hang out with such a decent, funny and humble bunch of people.
I should take this opportunity to explain to those who aren't in the know, the Cancer Bats are nothing to do with cancer... its just a name! I don't think raddness has ever caused cancer and that is all these guys deal in... so your safe!
So... I begin the after effects of round three's chemo assault armed with a barrage of entertainment, clothing and well wishes from Canada's finest, but I cant help thinking there are other parties who have had a hand in this. If those people are reading this I can't thank you and "the bats" enough, I know you know what this means to me... thank you all so very much!
