It is 19 days since my turbt yet it feels like months. I'm not complaining, I like the feeling. My partner and I have achieved more togetherness and instead of this good thing flying past I have time to enjoy it. I suppose I used to run around doing all sorts of meaningless things that no longer have any importance and I fail to see why I thought they did. I guess my priorities have changed. I now spend more time on my family and my dog or looking at cloud formations to find fluffy animals or tending my plants that are doing so well this year. Cleaning has taken a back seat - apart from the necessary, cooking has become such a pleasure but now the washing up can wait. I feel freed from all the self-inflicted things I just 'HAD' to do. This cancer thing has made me realise what life is really about. It is not money, things or appearance, it's about family and love. So the cancer has done me a favour in a sense. Who'd have thought it?
