The Life Boat has arrived...





'Suddenly I saw the LIFE boat coming towards me. After eight long months, trapped on this desolate, dark Island, it has come to take me back to the mainland. All of my family and friends are waiting to welcome me back. My new life is about to begin'...



Today was a good day. Today I cried again but this time with happy tears. With my final chemo cycle in sight next week, I received the news that my CT scan was all clear. Such relief for all my family and friends. Overjoyed, we left the Oncology unit with tears in our eyes and headed straight to my parents house.

I can now start to plan this year, knowing I'm safe to do so. Friday 17th will be my 'Day of Freedom'. No more appointments until 13th March for a check up! I'm happy that I will be seen every three months for the next year. Happy that I will have a CT scan every 6 months for the next two years. I will be monitored for the next seven years.

Its going to be quite a while before I recover fully. The oncologist said possibly a year due to nerve ending damage in my hands and feet. However, within the next two months I should be strong enough to go and meet up with all my friends old and new, visit my brother in Dubai, visit all the art galleries and exhibitions oh....and go back to work.

So, my next Blog will be post chemo...END OF!!!!
