Completely forgot…
To keep the momentum going, I ended up signing up to a workshop, submitted a motivational statement and all. Then completely forgot about it.
I had signed up to the 1st European Society for Radiation Oncology (ESTRO)’s Clinical Workshop 2026 in Vienna, for mid-March 2026. I specifically applied to get into the Combination Radiotherapy with Novel Therapies breakout group. And got in. That was a surprising email. Yay!
Did not forget…
This week, the ballot results for the Cape Town Marathon came out. I signed up to it mid-November. Ballot Results day is always stressful. Always checking your email for a Successful or Unsuccessful email, checking your bank account for money deducted from your account, checking the Entry status on the account, checking what people are saying online. Pretty much for the 24 hours.
The Cape Town Marathon is a contender to be the 8th World Marathon Major and those who complete the 2026 race will have a provisional star. It is getting harder to complete this goal to be honest. The 9th is Shanghai.
So since Wednesday, my entry was stuck on this…
And finally today, the ticket disappeared and I got this.
It was not for me.
Will not forget…
Word from the Training Programme Directors.
I have updated my Clinical Oncology TPDs about my fellowship in Australia. Of course they are pleased, but with one condition… complete the FRCR exams, as these remain the priority in training. They are absolutely right.
So I shall lay low with Races for 2026 and aim to pass Physics in February, Final Written in August and Final Oral in November. Full Gas.
