Well its a New Year, and I have started it off with good news - my latest CT Scan has shown STABLE DISEASE - I have now had 13 cycles of xeloda and just have to continue on the way I am and they dont plan scanning me again until May - YIKES - bit worried about that, but understand my disease is stable, and therre is the risk that lots of scans can  cause other cancers so have to grin and bear it.

The past year has been quite a year.  I have had lots of trips, days out, lunches, meals etc.  I certainly know who my true friends are.  They have been , and are still there for me - and you all know who you are.  You all mean the world to me - thank you for all your continuing support and happiness when I have shared my good news with you
I really need to pinch myself sometimes, because I still cannot believe I am living a near normal life (well my new normal), after the prognosis I was given. I am so grateful for this oral chemo.

I am thinking about holding a fundraising night for my 42nd birthday in April.  Suzie thinks its an ace idea, and thinks I definately should so I think I need to get busy with begging letters etc as will hold a raffle and auction.

Life really couldnt be better - well as good as it can get living with terminal cancer.
