I've been working as much as the chemo side effects have allowed. It's been ever-decreasing circles, the deeper I've gone into my treatment. Now I've reached the point at which I have to pull back from work.
Fortunately, our retainer clients have been very understanding throughout. They've been happy for me to do the work I could. Now they are happy to wait until I return. That's a huge boost. My worry was that my illness would be the end of Show & Tell, which relies heavily on me as the main revenue generator. Knowing our clients will be waiting for me when I resurface is a great mental lift.
I'm also lucky my long-term collaborator Paul O'Mahony will help oversee the large one-off project on Show & Tell's books, bringing in outside creatives as the project demands.
I know the financial aspect of my illness has been on people's minds. I won't go into details, but I should be able to see this out.
And even better: I haven't had a proper holiday for over a decade. Whatever will I do with my time?
