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.<\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n
Onwards and Upwards!<\/p>\n
