Looking Forward to 2007

It's been five months since I last posted. We had a strange year (2006). In the summer I had surgery to remove part of my bowel where the cancer had been. That took a while to recover from. While the surgeon was in there she noticed a spot on my liver. It was very small and she removed it. It turned out to be cancer. Thankfully it was removed, but unfortunately that changed things for us. It meant that it was now considered a stage 4 cancer. The doctor figures the cancer got there by travelling in some mucous in my abdomen. I figure that's better than having travelled through my blood or lymph nodes.

I started an aggressive chemotherapy in August. It's been fairly manageable, but the fatigue can be tough. I have three more treatments to do and then...who knows. We'll just have to wait and see if anything ever comes back. My last CT scan came back clear. We were pretty pleased with that. I imagine that for the next few years I'll be having many CT scans.

This has been a long and tiring experience, but God has been good. I've been able to work and I've been able to find some new clients, one of which has been very faithful in sending me work.

Looking forward to a better 2007,
