Last time I had cancer I mentally blasted evil football tumours into outer space with the aid of Eric Cantona while on the radiotherapy table. This time the treatment is ongoing so I haven't been tempted to periodic imaginings. I have played some iPad games which seem quite symbolic though; World of Goo features rather charming Slime Balls which have to be pulled into off kilter cellular structures in order to be safely collected in a jar and reduced to toxic liquid, while Sparkle involves removing relentless chains of balls from colonic passages before they clog up and cause chaos. Don't worry, I don't think the iPad causes cancer (or cures it!) but it makes recuperation a lot more fun.
