I’ve only ever sent these on Facebook but since last year, after some challenges, I wanted to make sure I covered anyone who supports my sites via one channel whether it is Twitter (X), Facebook, Newsletter or direct from a subscription to my website. All of the outlets above have kept my viewing figures high, I guess I can’t complain about a 2024 total of over 285,000 blog hits (so far), a figure higher than 2023. I’ve had a lot of personal issues to deal with in 2024, including some strange health stuff, so I’m delighted this has not affected performance. That said, I had to put the hours in to generate some of the output.
Like last year, another challenging year for someone with one single member of staff (me!) to run some of the biggest NET social media account groupings, while at the same time living with a stage IV cancer and all that goes with it.
One of my biggest challenges was managing my private Facebook group – this is a big draw on my time and something I didn’t have in the first few years of my blog. I get busier as it gets bigger. With almost 10,000 members, it is now the biggest Neuroendocrine Cancer Facebook group in the world. That was not my mission, it just happened!
At the time of writing, my annual blog figures are just higher than in 2023 so hopefully a small rise to continue to reverse the downward trend seen during the pandemic. That said, I wrote many more blogs in 2024 than in any other year.
Facebook algorithms continue to affect many ‘pages’ reducing their scope (the more cynical might say it was done to drive advertising revenue but …….). My page “Neuroendocrine Cancer” was badly hit by this algorithm change but things are slowly improving (but not enough for me). There is a long way to go still as I can’t work out whether the page is less supported, or the algorithm doesn’t work for the current content. Using Facebook ads to improve hits has turned out to be hit-and-miss. I put a hold on that while I attempt to work it out. Running my “Ronny Allan” Facebook page takes a lot of effort, but I get a lot of satisfaction from doing it. My new awareness page World Neuroendocrine Cancer Day is growing steadily.
My newsletter app had to change in 2024 and I’m not yet convinced my new tool is up to the job, I continue to review that. You can subscribe to my newsletter below.
OK, enough of that ‘techie’ social media stuff! I mainly wanted to thank you for supporting me throughout 2024. Without you guys reading my blog, liking and commenting on my newsletters and Facebook posts; and joining and asking questions in my private Facebook group, life might be boring and quiet.
I would also like to thank those on my public Facebook pages for their support for Chris too. She is really integrated into many of the posts on my “Ronny Allan” page and provides many pictures and story ideas.
Please be careful over the Christmas and New Year holiday periods and have a great time. The private group will continue to function 24/7 and will not be paused. My pages and blog site may be quieter than normal. 
Thanks for reading.

I would also mention those who contributed to my “Tea Fund” which resides on PayPal. You don’t need a PayPal account as you can select a card but don’t forget to select the number of units first (i.e. 1 = £4, 2 = £8, 3 = £12, and so on), plus further on, tick a button to NOT create a PayPal account if you don’t need one. Clearly, if you have a PayPal account, the process is much simpler
