I make and sell my "Bloomin' Clever Boxes" at craft shows all over the country. In October 2007 I thought my way of life, if not my life was coming to an end - both of which I was enjoying enormously - because of Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. You can read my story on the Lymphoma Forum - "Coming through Non Hodgkins Lymphoma".
It is now 15 months since I was told my cancer was in remission, 15 months since I made a conscious decision to make the most of every day. I know the cancer will return 'someday' but there is every chance that that day will be many years away. In the mean time enjoy and make the most of life and seek out your AA Man. If you have a look at my new posting on the Lymphoma forum you will understand why I mention my AA Man. He was very important in helping me come to terms with my cancer and contemplating the condition we call remission.
