Christmas thoughts



Well Christmas is almost upon us and another year looming. We have just been getting on with usual festive preparations. We have gone a bit OTT with decorations this year but what the heck! These are special times and the grandies will love it!.


I am not sure what the New Year holds for us – Mr Nasty is progressing this we know, so another regime of chemo is almost certain but I won’t think about that until it happens cos it scares the hell out of me. I have several hospital appointments and yet another scan in January – ho hum! So we live for today and give it everything we’ve got. I have a few targets to meet in 2013 – a wedding in April and a silver wedding party in June.

‘I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I've bought a big bat.  I'm all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!’
~Dr. Seuss

 I wish you all a very happy Christmas and special wishes to those spending Christmas alone - not through choice - and thank you for following the blog. I hope you will continue with me on my journey in 2013.
Special thoughts to Mesowarriors and their families everywhere - maybe 2013 will bring news of a breakthough in treatment so we can move from 'palliative' to 'curative'. God bless you all

  3. Have a wonderful Christmas with your lovely family Tess.
    I hope that your bat is a huge one and you manage to give Mr. Nasty a pasting thus allowing you to meet all your targets.
    My thoughts and prayers are with you as always

  4. I echo what the others have said Tess - you clobber Mr Nasty good and hard and make those targets and more.
    You're a hero - have a wonderful Christmas with your family.
