Very much like last year I wanted to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year. I'm not a huge fan of New Year but I do like the idea of it being a fresh start and a chance to implement new things or change something in your life.
We're having a super quiet one this year again as I've had this lovely chest infection which is just about clearing but to be honest my perfect New Years does just involve chilling out and good company! Win, win! Sorry I did not wish you all a Merry Xmas (due to the above!) but I hope you all had a good holiday season.
Bertie wise all is still as before- next scan is end of Jan and my appointment is 17th Feb to see the Neuro Oncologist so will of course update after this (and if not before!) the overarching opinion is that it is still minimal growth but needs a lot closer monitoring in the interim to see what he does.
2015 is set to be a big year for me personally as I will marry my wonderful Carl and after all the planning we are very much looking forward to this! Again I will be sure to update my blog with some lovely things from the day!
Thanks again to all that have made such a difference in my life in 2014. I am reminded most days of what an amazing family, friends and support network I have. I am wishing you all the same as this time of year tends to put a lot of pressure on people ordinarily so when you are also living with a chronic condition it can really heighten things so be good to yourselves and look after you.
I hope the sun is shining tomorrow as I know I'm looking forward to getting out in the elements and working off some of the Xmas sluggishness!
Love to you all,
Gem
P.s a favourite quote of mine which I'd like to end on from one of my most loved films of all time, Vanilla Sky:
"Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around"
