What a Christmas

Well I have made it through the silly season with nothing much to report on the big "C" front. I go for another set of scans and bloods on the 12th of January but I am not worried at all.

As far as the silly season goes I had a hell of a one. I got called to a job on Christmas day that involved recovering the bodies of four drowning victims. All from the same family. It was a very sad day.

I am trying to recover from that still. Not sleeping too well yet but it will get better. I hope everyone who reads this had a nice Christmas at least before the boxing day tsunami's throughout Asia. I shed a tear last night for all of the victims who did not survive and for all of those who lost someone.

Here is to a new year. I hope that for me that it is not as eventful as the last twelve months.

Busy

Hi folks, I am still in the land of the living. I don't seem to get time to post as often as I used to but I guess at the moment there is not as much happening on the cancer front as there used to be.

I decided after my last lot of scans not to worry about having cancer until I had to go back for more tests. It is definitely working for me!!! I have definitely been living again.

I work as a cook at a church camp at a nearby town and at the moment we have a group called canteen staying with us. For those not from a Australia canteen is a group for people aged 14 to 24 who have cancer. It has been a bit of a reminder to me of just how lucky I am. The group we have now is only Victorian kids but in a couple of weeks we have the national camp staying as well and apparently the kids in the national group are a little sicker than the ones we have now. I am sure that I will come home every night and cry, but at least I can make sure that their time at camp is great fun!!!!!

Anyway all the best.
