A Christmas Joy, a New Year and a new life




SPOT THE DIFFERENCE! Tumor on Left Scan (August 2013)  Scan on the Right is Present (December 2013)


I really hope everyone had a beautiful Christmas and a New Year celebration, as I have had a blessing. 75% reduction in my latest MRI scan. Thank-you God, Thank-you to the miracle of Man and the miracle of hope. Now since this year has passed another begins. When people will ask me what your year like in 2013 was, I will smile knowing that I have survived, but yet have a strong sadness over me as a reminder but mind over matter.

It’s awesome that I have a reduction of 75%, however this is a miracle especially for this type of Cancer it is not normal nor is it expected, we are heading into an amazing time of miracle science breakthroughs with terminal cancers, am I’m the blessed one to be in the middle of the battle. A war with Cancer that has gone long enough, the longest war ever.

Last few weeks, and recently I have been very busy with lots of joy. Enjoying my nieces birthday at the animal farm in Bundoora, to going to the Gold Lounge at Epping to see the Hobbit Part 2, to Christmas Day and as I type this now, recovering from an amazing New Year’s Party celebration. Coming up in my life I have my beautiful fiancé’s birthday, my birthday and planning my application for Swinburne. The next few weeks are going to be trying to get my life back, even though I am going to be in the midst of treatment.

Made a few new friends at the Day Oncology Ward too, things at the moment are going okay. Actually scrap that, I’m good, just a bit unsure about the future. I guess that’s totally normal, but bring on 2014!!

2017- baby on the way and new career!

I seriously can't believe where has the time gone? Sometimes when you live in the moment you forget what the time is and things slip past you! My gosh it's been a long time writing a blog and can't believe it's coming to the end of 2017. So many incredible exciting things to share. My wife and I have announced we are having a baby boy! With the grace of God we are thrilled and can't wait to start this new chapter of our lives, just to think going back to the early days of chemotherapy and radiation oncology wouldn't think ever I would get this far, especially all the wonderful people for whom I have met along the way and many of them who have been on this journey with the same diagnosis who have passed away. I'm always thinking of them a raising a glass of scotch when I can to them. I miss them so much So can't believe its nearly the end of 2017, new beginnings on the approach. I can't wait to be a father, and be a good father to my little boy. M

I GOT ENGAGED

Hi everyone. Its been too long since I have been blogging away and I am going to start posting more and more and catch up to speed with everything. I have been up and down on an emotional eventful roller coaster the last few months, and cant wait to express everything that has happened. The title says it all! Yes a few weeks ago I took my girl for a mini holiday to the beautiful serenity of the alpine regions of Bright Victoria, yet little did she know I was going to propose to her. Jessica said yes such powerful emotions and love was shown that holiday and having such a terrible year an engagement and planning a wedding is enough to emotionally defeat the evils of cancer. The miracle of love ay. We have been dating for a long time and saying I love you all the time it was finally great to put that into concrete so planning an engagement party and a wedding has put me into a good emotional head space. Yet even though planning it I am now up to my 3rd cycle of Chemothearpy treatment

Good news, a holiday and another step forward

Hello everyone! It's been super ages since I wrote a blog page. It's been such an eventful few weeks with everything. Alot of close family and friends would know, but I would like to announce a fantastic victory in my hands. Recently, I had my MRI. As always I was nervous and very anxious. As MRI's determine your fate and can indicate if the tumor is responding. I'll cut to the chase, as soon as I got the MRI scan and my Oncologist came into the room with a big smile on his face. My tumor had shrunk by at least 40%! My tumor is responding to treatment! Praise God! Thank-you Jesus. Ten significant long months of fighting this blasted disease and finally got some good results. This was amazing, I felt like a thousand bricks lifted up and I slept for days as I was battled weary. For more information on this story, my awesome friend Jackson Miller who is going to become an outstanding Journalist has written an article about it. Here is the link. http://newsroom.macl
