FANTASTIC RESULTS FROM RADIATION
HI EVERYONE, JUST WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL MY FANTASTIC NEWS I WAS GIVEN ON THURSDAY AT MY HOSPITAL APPOINTMENT, 18 MONTHS AFTER RADIATION THEY FEEL THE AVM HAS GONE, WILL HAVE DEFINATE CONFIRMATION ON TUESDAY, BUT IT IS LOOKING GREAT!!! THANKS TO YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND I HOPE YOU CAN STILL FEEL MY CONTINUED SUPPORT TO ALL OF YOU! X (25/9/2009)
UPDATE > 23/2/2010
HI ALL - WELL ITS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I HAVE BEEN ON HERE OR MADE ANY NOTES I HAVE BEEN ENJOYING A LOVELY 2 MONTHS BACKPACKING HOLIDAY AROUND CAMBODIA LAOS VIETNAM AND THAILAND (DONT TELL THE DOCTOR HA HA)
............... THE NEWS GIVEN TO ME ON THE TUESDAY WAS THAT THE AVM IS STILL THERE, BUT IT HAD DECREASED MORE IN SIZE, EVEN IF IT WAS ONLY A LITTLE, AT LEAST THE BUGGER IS NOT GETTING BIGGER - 2 YRS FROM RADIATION AND NEARLY 2 YEARS FROM BEING DIAGNOSED I FEEL FANTASTIC, ALMOST MYSELF AGAIN, OF COURSE THIS IS ALWAYS GOING TO HANG OVER ME UNTIL ITS GONE, AND EVEN THEN ITS GOING TO BE FOR LIFE - BUT I KEEP IT AS MY CONSTANT REMINDER THAT LIFE IS TO SHORT - FEAR IS TEMPORARY BUT REGRET IS FOREVER - SO LIVE LIFE TO TODAY - NOT TOMORROW - ITS PRECIOUS.
I HAVE MY NEXT CHECK UP APPOINTMENT ON THE 15TH OF APRIL, ALTHOUGH NO MATTER WHAT THE RESULT I HAVE COME THROUGH THE WORST AND I FEEL POSITIVE!
