Dec 24 –

Recently I had a Cancer diagnosis…..it kinda makes one think…….

Thankfully, following some surgery it looks like I’m cured, just some radiotherapy to go and then I’m done…apart from the drugs for 5-10 years…..

It’s made me realise the making of memories is important….as is saying “Yes” to opportunities that arise….

On balance, I’m thankful of the whole experience. I’ve grown as a person & I am grateful for many things in my life.

Update….May 25

Radiotherapy done & recovery period coming to a close….

I’ve realised that tomorrow is never given…to any of us….our expectation of time is sometimes misjudged….

I’ve learned a lot…..including about swedish death cleansing….

I’ve always pushed the “there is always a positive if you look hard enough” mantra, & in addition to the free prescriptions for 5 years #WinToThePiggyBank, cancer has changed me for the better.

It has allowed me to be ok to let any guilt go, to put my needs first (not in a selfish way, but a “you can’t pour from an empty cup” way). To truly embrace living & being ok with the fact that can look very different at different times in our lives….
