These wise words, from none less than my son Glen, has told me I should continue to keep folk informed of my 'cancer journey'. Another more blunt comment but from a person I respect told me flat out - 'you have responsibilities'. So with that in mind, I'll keep the blog going. And try and keep it interesting! As mentioned, the six month journey has begun, intravenous every 3 weeks, with 'daily pill chemo' inbetween, scheduled to finish at the end of Jan 2012, - sounds a along time away!
Side effects can be daunting, but there are ways of combating those, and I have great help from some wonderful people in that regard. As also mentioned previously, I have some interesting projects on the go. which will hopefully keep my mind occupied. If youre reading this, I'm always aware that you may also have 'stuff' going on in your life, and sometimes YOU could do with a listening ear or a word of comfort or wisdom. We are all facing our own battles, and we all need each other, so if you want to unload onto me, I'd like to think I could be here for you as much as you good people have been here for me. A load shared is a much lighter burdern! I'll be careful not to bore you, or preach good 'food' habits to you, I promise!
Love you all - chat soon
welcome back - look forward to walking alongside and reading of your observations and experiences. No replacement for your friendly face though!

Great to hear you will be continuing the blog! We dont mind some good food habit preaching. Eva has just finished writing/drawing in a card from us (its a fairy and a rocket ship!). Look out for the package coming soon! Lots of love the Mt. Branch Dixons. x x x x
ReplyDeleteWe are still with you mate ... the blog is good because those of us who are unable to pop in and see you can be kept up to date. I check it most mornings before my prayer time so that helps me to know what to pray on that day ... so keep it up.
