Goals for 2010 - need to start thinking, or do I?

1 minute read time.

As we all do when we complete our treatment plans we stop and draw our breath and wonder how things will be. I have been lucky that despite some setbacks during chemo and post treatment scans, I have still achieved the goal I set to return to work in January.  So its back to work on a phased return mixed with annual leave so that takes me to April and hoping to be working a full week by then, guess thats one goal.

Having a successful PET scan around the end of Feb is another which will let me plan more longer term I hope and start to move on.

And this will I hope allow me to plan a return visit to New York as a big thanks to my wife who has been my carer throughout this challenge and who has been a true rock.

Other than that I need to decide what I want and need to be important in my like, like many others you learn that people, time and thought are key elements of life post treatment. 

so on the wet snow day I sit and contemplate what the future holds and how will this experience influence the rest of my life, as you can tell I don't have many answers but feel that I should but also realise I need time to sort it out, so may be goals no longer become important and its about the moment.

anyway enough rambling from me, have a good new year everyone and I wish you all health and happiness and may your dreams and wishes become reality.

PS please promote the what now calendar if you can

regards .... john
