Im nearly 7 months cancer free, Its been a long hard journey but im making my way through it.
I finally got my 6 month tests done on thursday, I was so nervous, i didnt get much sleep wednesday night. When my specialist did the tests she said there is no sign of the cancer returning yet and shes confident it wont return, I still have to get the tests done every 3 months but hopefully next time i wont be so nervous.
My life is slowly returning to normal finally, Last year i was told if i didnt have the surgery i wouldnt make it to this christmas and now here i am nearly 12 months after the day i got that call, im cancer free, looking forward to christmas and planning our wedding.
Alot can change in 12 months, Ive lost family & friends but i have also gained some amazing new friends that make it all worth while.
When i was a little girl my grandpa told me that during tough times you find out who really cares for you and who is just there when they need something, I now know what he meant when he told me to make sure my friends are "All weather friends", they are the ones who will stand by my side through the hard times as well as the good times and im thankful for those who have stood by myside and helped me through the hard times.
Im really looking forward to christmas this year, Rob & i arent doing anything special, just having my mum over for Christmas lunch but this year is special because its my first christmas as a survivor.
For christmas this year I asked Rob for a gym membership, Seems like a strange present but i really miss going to the gym & i want to get fit & start enjoying life again, Rob brought me a membership to Anytime Fitness YAY! I start this week. Im so excited. The gym is amazing, its massive & the equipment is so cool. I have to go to the Wodonga one for a month because thats where i signed up but after the first month is up i can go to any anytime fitness gym anywhere world wide.
Its nice to be getting my life back on track.
So now i will be still doing weekly weigh ins but i will be posting a blog about it, it will help me stick to my weight loss goal.
Also if anyone in the albury wodonga area would like to go to the gym and workout with me please feel free to contact me.
Thank you all for your support.
Love Always
Mandy
