THE BEST NEWS EVER!!!

1 cancerous lump in my breast (a huge shock)
6 sessions of chemo (a concoction of nasty side effects)
3 weeks of radiotherapy (like being in a large, rotating photocopier)
2 malignant tumours in my brain (head cracked open like an egg twice)
1 stint of Whole Brain Radiotherapy (the ultimate torture-fest)
2 seizures (scary for everyone in the ward, I was oblivious)
2 pulmonary embolisms (life-threatening, of course)
1 terminal diagnosis (Q. could this get any worse?)
3 months to live (A. apparently, yes)
1 amazing miracle (God is GOOD!)

6 years cancer-free (wonderful, but had a few wobbles)

10 year anniversary (you heard it right, 10 whole years!)
0 cancer in my body (yes!!!!!)
1 awesome God (I'm SO thankful)




Please be assured that my heart goes out to people who have lost their loved ones to cancer (I have lost so many treasured friends to this vile disease) and those who are still going through it. You are amazing, strong survivors. I have nothing but admiration for you.
