About Me

My photo
My name is Samantha, Sammy to many of my family, Sam to my friends. My blog describes the journey I have undertaken so far and the journey I continue to make having been diagnosed with Follicular Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Stage 4 in December 2009. With the exception of surgery at point of diagnosis I have been actively monitored under a "watch and wait" approach and achieved 5 years without treatment and monitoring only last December. My prognosis is approximately 10 years but for every year we watched and waited I have felt positive that this would be extending that prognosis. I am very happily married to Roy and celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary last October and we have a beautiful 9-year old son Callum. My Step-Daughter, 20-year old Hayley who lived with us is now at University. Our house is awash with my beloved pets, our 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, "Amber" and "Saffy", "Caboodle" the cat and "Elliott" the Rex rabbit. The opinions on this blog are my own and based on my personal experience.

Break Away

Had a nice week in Devon, not far from Dartmouth, and now back to the reality of e-mail, conference calls and the likes.

The weather treated us kindly so we where able to get out and explore most days, but unfortunately you have to return the humdrum at some point.

The weekend has been spent with run-of-the-mill housework catching up and yesterday a lovely day in the garden. The chickens now have their own luxury lawned extension so are very content little hens and we have commenced the reclaim of our own piece of garden, and I'm hoping the weather will hold its own today to enable us to use the new BBQ this evening.

My Race for Life training commences in real earnest this week. It's a little late due to health issues but the training plan is in place and I'm ready for the starting blocks.

I'm still incredibly tired and lack real energy but am optimistic that the additional exercise may produce some reserves.
