I've contacted the leopard authorities and they assure me they are used to dealing with leopards like this, and they have a plan for removing the leopard. It will take a while, though, and once in a while I can hear it growl. And that's all very reassuring. Even so, several times a day I think to myself: \"Hang on, there's a leopard in my house.\" One morning, while shaving, the comedian Mark Steel noticed that one side of his neck seemed larger than the other. After a whistlestop tour of assorted medical professionals, a consultant delivered the ominous words that would define the next months of his life: 'I'm afraid it's not good news, Mr Steel'. And so began a journey into the heart of the NHS, as he embarked on the long and uncertain road to cancer recovery via a range of mildly torturous and entirely miraculous treatments. What, if anything, might he learn about himself - and our capacity for coping with life when times get tough - as he becomes part of a club that one in two British people will ultimately join? A frank and funny diary of one man's rather trying year, this is an unforgettable and uplifting story of getting ill, getting on with it, and getting better.","brand":"Ebury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53436793225558,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781529941029_1_69ab3011-8c34-4a8e-b485-015d947364b8.jpg?v=1781671720","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/mark-steel-the-leopard-in-my-house-9781529941029","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
