Hi everyone...
Well christmas is here and new year soon to follow.
i have to thank all the staff at St Georges hospital who operated on me and helped in my recovery. in particular mr hussein the surgeon, saskia my macmillan nurse and jane my plastic dressings nurse.
looking back at the year, it all happened so fast! from going to my GP for a routine bp check and asking to look at a dodgey mole, going to biopsy, biopsy result, surgery and 9 months later full recovery. ok, i got a big war wound and lymphoedema and some pain but with a clear result on the SNB i am sitting on the right side of the fence for now. just got to keep up with the monthly body checks and 3 monthly check ups at st georges.
i have put the diet on hold for a while to get over xmas and restart in the new year. as the leg gets stronger then i will add more exercise and get the extra lbs (stones) off!
thanks to everyone for commenting on my blog over the year and thanks to all my fellow members of melanomates on facebook. i am looking forward to the second chance to meet up. this site and other sites are so important for networking and realising the boat we are all in is big but we are not in it alone.
happy christmas everyone and wishing you all good health and happiness for 2011.
Peter
