The Best Christmas Present
On Thursday 13 November I received the best Christmas present ever. It was early, of course, too early to wrap in decorative paper and red ribbon but that didn't alter the worth of it. Actually the gift was too precious to wrap, it was the sort that needed to be shouted about from hilltops and roofs, unwrapped and open to view. Would you like to know what my gift was? Okay, I'll reveal all.
As I said, the date was 13 November but it certainly wasn't an unlucky day. It was the day Joe had the ALL CLEAR from the medics. There was no sign of the cancer that had troubled him for a whole year. That is certainly something to celebrate?
There are still a few things to be sorted but when we're told that the cancer had disappeared anything else can be taken in a stride.
He looks well, is eating well, has put on a little weight, and is able to go out more ... and is rather jubilant about his new status. And why not?
Our blogging friends have been so supportive throughout Joe and I thought we should impart the good news - most of all he wants to thank you all for your good wishes and sympathetic messages.
Congratulations on the good results for Joe, I am so happy that you both received such good news.

Well done Joe: congratulations to you both on the fantastic news. Valerie, you could wrap Joe up in a new Christmas jumper with Xmas Tree or Reindeer motif.

ReplyDeleteWonderful news...:) My wife has beaten two different versions of this curse in the last twenty years.
ReplyDeleteGetting an "all clear" is an amazing thing. And I'm relieved and elated for Joe and for you. The disease affects everyone...and it's been a tough haul, but worth every trip, every treatment, worth every ucky moment. Still keeping up the prayers, but I'm doing a happy dance!! What an awesome gift to get!!
