Wednesday… An anniversary
Jun 11th 2008PeterGetting My Life Back!
It recently occurred to me that it is nine years ago this month since I was first diagnosed with lymphoma. I can’t remember the exact date, only that I had a rash while I was on holiday in America, and an X-Ray showed an enlarged spleen. It was when I returned to the UK at the end of May/early June that the cause was determined, and I started ‘my journey’! I have said that it is a bit like walking down a path, with various treatments along the way, and it has at times been a pretty rocky path too – traversed only with the support of family and friends (like you, dear reader) for which I thank you, and the skill of the various medical teams that have looked after me.
And tonight we (in the office) are going out for a few beers – something I couldn’t have contemplated a few months ago so while this anniversary isn’t the reason, I will raise a glass to you all!
Onwards and Upwards!
PS – Just checked – it was exactly nine years ago this day – thanks Mum!

9 years, great, keep them coming. I find writing the blog therapeutic, and even better when there is a comment or 2 – have also realised that more friends read my blog than I thought which is great. Thank you, Peter, for setting it up. L’n’Hs
