Our back garden, this afternoon:

It’s snowing again now. We’re expecting 2-4″ on top of the 6-8″ we’ve already had. Good times.

So, 5 years ago, give or take, I wrote this entry, detailing my next 2 sessions of chemo. I didn’t document the exact dates, and I don’t recall off the top of my head what they were, but based on what’s in that post, I think my last chemo session would have been July 11th, 2003.

This means that I’ve reached the mythical ‘5 years’ of remission. Which is the point where relapse hits a fraction of a percent. I don’t suppose I’ll ever consider it truly gone, but this is about as a good a milestone as one can hope for.

Thanks to everyone who posted their support during that time. Your feedback meant a lot to me, even if my natural English stoicism didn’t show it.

I suppose it’s about time for a new user icon eh?

Edit: Yes, it is. I’ve retired the old no hair chemo shot in favour of this one of our boys, who proved the doctors who said we’d never be able to have kids after chemo completely wrong.

Yeah yeah, a post. I never post. Anyway, friend of mine does an awesome online radio show and needs listeners. It’s a really good show and I encourage anyone who wants to hear a load of great bands to listen. It’s on right now.. regular show on Wednesdays from 8-10 and Fridays from 10-12..
