Life is good

I really don't know what to write here. Since my last blog in November, life has gone on with very little disturbing it. I picked up a couple of viruses in late November/early December, and these really knocked me, I think because my immune system is still somewhat compromised from the chemo. They also had a psychological effect as well as physical. You see, I miss my life pre-cancer. It doesn't matter how good I feel, life is not the same now as it was then.

This led to the first real argument Tina and I have had in 13 years............ and it was a doozy! Without going into the gory details, I ended up storming out of the house slamming doors behind me. Of course, the dramatic effect was somewhat muted when I realised I still had my slippers on! I had to creep back in with my tail between my legs and put my shoes on. Looking back, it was all my fault. I was feeling really down (no excuse though!) and it shouldn't have happened. We were back to normal the next day and could talk it through, and normal relations were quickly resumed.

Christmas came and went, and was wonderful. It was very quiet, but the best for a long time. We went to the Hospice Xmas Party, which was really good, and as you can see from the picture, even the staff let their hair down. I think a lot of it was psychological this Xmas.  You see, a couple of times early on in the year I really wasn't sure I'd still be here, but I was, so YAH,,,,, BOO....... SUCKS cancer!

We received an appointment last week for my next scan (Feb 3rd), and I see my oncologist on 11th. I suppose the whole assimilate/process/deal with cycle will start all over again then. I am, as usual, fairly upbeat about it. I have been feeling really good for 4 or 5 weeks now (as good as it gets anyway!) both physically and emotionally, and, as the title says, Life is Good............ at the moment.
