When I was first diagnosed with Breast Cancer at 26 I like many others thought thats it for me and at that time didnt think I would make 27!! Well here I am still fit and strong and just celebrated turning 30. Yes I still have cancer and yes I know it will never go away but I feel so lucky to be feeling as well as I do and glad I reached this milestone in my life (at least). My family and I all had a fantastic Christmas and everyone was really spoiled rotten. The kids seemed thrilled with the gifts they got from 'Santa' and Dan and I got lovely things from each other and the kids too. My mum who is an absolute star got me Take That tickets which I tried desperately hard to get and I am really excited about going, which turns out to be on our 4th wedding anniversary. My sister got me a gorgeous Pandora bracelet so I am looking at the charms and trying to choose ones which best reflect who I am and the things I like. My hubby has arranged for us to go to see Dirty Dancing in the West End at the end of January which again is something else to look forward to and I got some money so I am getting a tattoo done next Wednesday. I will add a piccy when its done. 2011 is shaping up to be a great year already. We are also off to Disneyland in just about 6 weeks so I am mounting up the 30 things for turning 30 that I wanted to do. I am off to hospital for my treatment tomorrow and I can really tell as I feel so tired although some of it could be down to all the crap I have been eating this week. I really hope you all had a great time over Christmas and are all feeling well and looking forward to seeing in a brand new year. Heres hoping its a good one xx
