Life is still good...
Just had my 4 months scan results today..
Few days before the scan i started to be really scarred somewhat I was thinking that things simply have gone so well and that somewhat I will take a bashing soon...(too good to be true kinda of thoughts)
But no my oncologist that I had not seen for more than a year (at which point I thought..here we go..) came to tell me that I am his star patient!
You know the funny thing is: I really love my life now, much much more than before I was stage 4, I love it love it love it... and the thing is I live and plan on a 4 monthly basis not that I am pessimistic but rather my phylosophy is yipeehh got another 4 months of healthy living ahead !!!! thank you thank you thank you..I simply cannot beleive my luck (actually I even play down my contentment to certain people around me I would not want them to get jalous..haha!)
