Happy New Year

Another year done and I'm still here. Not much to report since my last post really, but I did want to document some of the List for Living stuff I've done since being diagnosed. If there's one good thing to have come from having cancer, it's having the kick up the arse to get my bucket list ticked off.

#9 - Abseil (420 feet)



#10 - Write a book


#12 - Experience a sensory deprivation tank

#14 - Go in a helicopter



#21 & #36 - Go on a segway / Visit the Berlin Wall (2 for 1 here!)



#26 - Visit Pompei



#30 - Fly a plane



#33 - Caving



#37 - Indoor skydiving



#38 - Feast of Cakes and Desserts


#47 - See a shooting star

Not bad considering! I am going to definitely do a lot more of them in 2014 and hopefully there will be very little action on the cancer front. My dermatologist Dr Stewart was a little shocked I had so much trouble getting a scan so she's said I can have an annual CT scan at her hospital. She said something touching, which was that she wouldn't normally have this conversation with a patient but she doesn't know how I cope so well. She said she thinks she'd fall to pieces and it must be like sitting on a time bomb. Yep, that sums it up!
