This morning a very special letter dropped into my postbox. It contained the certificate from the Oncology Department at Périgueux stating that five years after the end of my treatment for Lymphoma and following a final consultation last week, I have been officially declared clear of the disease and in full and complete remission.
It isn’t as though it’s been a shadow hanging over me as I’ve just been determined to get on with my life in the meantime come what may, but nevertheless it’s a nice thing to have. And I hope that it will be something that will give hope and encouragement to anyone else who has been diagnosed with Hodgkins and thinks that their life will change forever for the worse.
If you’re one of them, you need to understand that it’s up to you and it doesn’t have to if you don’t let it. Things may feel terrible right now and yes, the treatment at times is not very nice. But take my word that it’s worth it and things will work out in the end. As they have for me, thanks to the amazing team of very special people at Périgueux to whom I will be forever thankful.

Thanks Rog. And as the builder and I have at last come to an agreement on how to deal with my house’s roof problems, it looks as though I might at last be getting my life back again. I’ll have to make sure that they don’t backslide (this is France after all) but who knows, maybe I’ll be able to start getting some flying in again… 😉
Hi Rog. Great news well done.
