Thinking About the Future

I received a date for my CT scan today. 

I will be having the scan on the 8th November and the follow up meeting a week later on the 15th. The 8th November is the same date as Kitten has an operation on her leg, so we will be busy bees!

When I was walking back and forth to the Post Office yesterday I was thinking about the things I would like to do when and if I get a clean bill of health.

I thought about all manner of things but, when I thought a little deeper, I realised that none of them were really important to me.  The only thing that resonated was the thought of being able to sit down with my children, look them in the eye and say to them

     "Kids, your daddy doesn't have cancer any more"

Naturally, I would be pleased for myself and for everyone around me but most are adults and can take care of themselves.

At present I am still a long way from that.  First I need good results from the scan.  If I get them then I still need good results from the operation.  If the scan goes OK then I will feel confident about the operation though.

It's not the easiest "project that I have undertaken" but things could look a lot brighter in a month's time.

Today, I have even managed to get some mince 'n' mash down again.
