It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Wow, happy new year. I think I’ll write off 2023 as never happening. I was diagnosed in December 2022 and 2023 has just been a shitstorm but I’m here to tell the tale and reflect. It’s 1am and I’ve managed to celebrate new year with a few rum and cokes which I can actually taste. Xmas lunch tasted of sawdust and I bloody cooked it for the whole family but its great just to be alongside my children. Little moments have become big ones, I don’t think I’ll ever shake off my new fear of life and death. The world is so different now only you guys will know what I mean. I’m very scared of the future but for now I’m recovering well , I feel pretty good, I’ve got an accidental six pack 
and I try to enjoy every day and forget the hand I was dealt last year. I asked Santa for more saliva but he didn’t come through. Anyway I’m feeling sentimental, reflective but also optimistic. Sorry for the midnight ramble of nothing but please all just keep going and enjoy what you can. Love to you all. Alex

Alex....You've cracked it
I'm really touched that you thought of all of us here at the beginning of the new year
Happy New Year

Everyone on here has one of these years and you are right in saying no one truly understands what we go through, we all have our ways of coping and recovering so its great to read your post. It sounds to me as if you are doing a great job, this time next year you will be enjoying your Christmas dinner along with the rest of your family, wishing you all the best for 2024, Alex. Take care.
