Health wise this was a good week. I managed to work out twice. Couldn't push it but I did it and I so wanted to do more but my time will come. After the sad news this week of loosing Geoff it defo makes you wonder who deals those cards of life. This was a man who worked hard all his life, had a wonderful wife been married 24 years and had two sons. Now she has to go to his funeral in the same church they were married in. House this lovely lady will cope with that I just do not know. We used to joke with Geoff that he sounded like Peter Kay and joke about having BBQ when he comes back next. Even in his last emails to me we were talking about that BBQ and I so wish we could. Theres not many times in life that you meet a family that are so genuine and down to earth. It makes you realize that life is so fragile and you need take every opportunity you can. In a blink in an eye it could be gone!
I went bowling twice this week and had some really good scores so at least thats improving lol The next day though my body hurt but thats to be expected I suppose. Ill just have to make sure when I have the last chemo I work on my fitness.
Work has picked up so thats even better very busy and we have some new contracts starting so lets hope 2011 is better.
I still find it hard when people keep asking me how I am. Ill be out bowling and I just want to bowl I just want to forget that I have this thing inside me, I have no hair. Let me bowl, I'm happy and feel well let me have the goods weeks because next week is going to be the bad week, but at least its the last week and I can hope that my hair will start growing back and I wont have strangers coming up to me asking "Do you have cancer" complete strangers, why would they be so stupid, I would never walk up to some one and ask that, dumbarses. Just leave me be.....
Well Ill post again tomorrow, the last one yipeeeeeeeee

One Week Left Before the last chemo!
Well all in all not a bad week. Feeling really good actually and I went to the Gym yesterday did not push it too much but I did an hour.
Monday had bloods taken again nothing to report there. I have found my nails are growing and growing. When you read everything on line says your nails like your hair fall out!
I am looking forward to being done with this. I just hope this cures it and I'll live out the rest of my life with no more Doctors or Hospitals.
I did get some sad news today that a friend of ours who was battling cancer has died. It was a BIG shock. Only before Christmas we were joking over email about him and his family coming back to Florida and us getting together for a BBQ. He has to be one of the nicest men I have ever met and a real gentleman. It's not often you walk through life and come across some real special people and want to hang on to that friendship. My heart felt like breaking reading that email for his lovely wife and children and do you carry on when you lose that love and special person.
There has to be a break through soon to help cure this horrible thing they call cancer!

New Year
Well 2011 is here and lets hope its going to my year and everyone else's..
I have to say that the 3rd chemo wasn't so bad. I think taking the sickness pills straight off the bat was the right thing to do. The only thing that week was feeling weak and tired. Last week defo was getting my strength back. Back to working out next week if I'm still feeling this good. Ill take it easy and not push it but I think if I at least work out this week but the time the 10th is here the LAST chemo I will have the strength to get through it and get over it quicker. So we will see.
When you read various blogs about people and their experiences and what they are going through it does make you feel lucky, so people are going a far worse hell then I am. I think when you are told that you have this horrible disease you think the worse and cannot believe why its you. When you see that little children have it you wonder why. It seems everyone in your daily life you speak to knows at least one person that has one sort of cancer. There has to be a break through soon to end all this misery.
Monday is more blood work and of course money start of a new year so start of the new Insurance policy. Oh well what you going to do SMILE and the world smiles with you. :)
I'm not going to worry about money. I'll make sure that all my bills are paid that there is food in the cupboard and whats left I'll pay at little to the cancer fund. Cannot get blood out of a stone.
My priority is to get my company back on its feet get proactive and keep everyone moving and doing what they should be doing. I worked all over Christmas and New Years and it was so busy. The totals were higher then last year and I hope its a sign of things to come that 2011 really is an upturn.
I just hope everyone else out there thinks positively and gets through their treatment and looks on the bright side and SMILE as they saying goes SMILE AND THE WHOLE WORLD WILL SMILE WITH YOU.
