Journeys End?

Well I thought it was about time I brought you all up to speed with how I am doing. I saw my oncologist last Wednesday to be greeted with the news that all my blood results are now normal! I am still on the herceptin for now but they are looking at taking me off that. I have beaten this disease without any surgery or radiotherapy, purely chemotherapy and positive thinking and a lot of help from my friends. They are looking at keeping people like me on the herceptin now for 6 months instead of a year, I have already been on it for 4 months. My ECG's are also normal which means it is not affecting my heart. I think I have been extremely lucky. The chances of me getting this again is fairly high, thinking about it statitstically, if I was 70 when I first got this, I would only have around 15 years in which to get it again. As I was 34 when I got it, I am looking at potentially another 50 years in which I could get it. BUT! Beaten it once. Can do it again. I am still the postive person who started out on this journey but I am not the same person. I am stronger, calmer, fearless and I will never take anything for granted again. I have said it before, cancer can be a gift and it is up to us who have survived to make the most of our second chances.
