I have some fabulous news regarding my cancer, I am officially in remission yay!
Stats show that many more are surviving the scary big C. Who knows maybe one day one pill will fit all cancers.
As far as pancreatic cancer, my nemesis, to reach 2 years post diagnosis is an achievement, to be where I am today, 4 years post diagnosis, and in remission is a small miracle! Normally pancreatic isn’t normally diagnosed until it’s too late to help, I guess it’s sneaky, venamous and a silent killer.
So, why am I blessed to be in the 2% that gets to remission? I guess it’s a numbers game, pure chance, I had the right suite of cards in my hand. As my son says I am bloody stubborn, I just won’t lie down and give in. In this case thank goodness for being stubborn!
However, I am strongly aware that my Facebook friends have played a big part in this also, the messages of support urging me on through the dark days all helped, as did the love and support from those close to me.. thank you each and everyone of you.
As to the Parkinson’s, that has stayed relatively stable over the summer, still have sleepless nights, dystonia (cramps) and I do tend to get a little over anxious some days, but all in all the meds are doing their job, as long as I remember to take them on time!
One new development is that I know have a date December(4th) for my total knee replacement surgery, it has been rather painful over the summer out walking the hooligans in the woods and exploring bridleways around us, but I have been determined to keep mobile to keep my leg muscles strong as this can only help my recovery.
Well this has been a quick catch up, I intend to post at least monthly in the future, and whilst recovering from my knee surgery I am determined to use this time to crack on with my book!

Thank you for taking the time to get a little insight in my life, bless you all.
Tony.
