A supportive thankyou to all of my support friends and family who have supportive me

Hello to all my supportive friends and family. from the graciousness of my heart I do apologize for not being able to reach all of you or reply individually. However would like to let you know I am so appreciativr and overwelmed with the words and financial support. Its been such a long time since I last did a blog post. So much has happened. I got married to the love of my life Jessica on 17th October 2017 and had the most magical wedding day ever.

I got to marry my best friend. Went on my honeymoon and also survived another blessed family christmas lunch. 2014 ended with such a positive medical result indicating that my tumor hasn't grown nor shrunk. Moving into 2015 as a result being part of a Brain Cancer Clinical Trial I am currently on which is ABT 414 my eyrs have becone mych worse. Cornea Deposits, cornear damage and dry eyes are many other related eye issues. This has impact my ability to not work, my pension and I had to defer my course in Diploma of Community Services.

The eye problems are a frustration especially these have added more troubled burden to what I am already dealing with, however I wish not to complain rspecially this clinicial trial is still keeping me alive however a catch w0/20 with the quality of life.

I am so greatful for all the wonderful people who continue to pray and support myself, my wife Jessica and my family.. a few weeks ago Jessica and I attended an awesome fundraiser at Fitxcore Sunbury. These guys put on a fantastic night for raising money for my treatment and  ongoing cause. A nassive shout out to them and the community of sunbury. https://m.facebook.com/fitxcore check out there facebook page.

I am going to start blogging again. Ive written up some key areas I want to go into depth in the upcoming weeks. It really feels good to be back on blogging.
Its emotionally powering. Wow!!

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...

No treatment, long break and a great way to end the year

I haven't had any treatment since July. Wow and I feel awesome. My eyes have returned to normal good and my general health and well-being is beyond exception. I am on a long prolonge break from having any infusions to give my body some time to heal and harvest the trail drug. This means I can spend some time being an awesome regular human, or whatever that means? But its brillant! My eyes can have a break from being bonbarded and hassled with. I am also focused on loosing weight and getting fit again. In the last month I have been actively trying to find work and seek part time casual work to slowly get back into work. A transition really and amazing news this week manage to get a part time job as a Gardener. This will help me mentally and financially.  What an amazing blessing. I am not receiving any ABT 414 drug, I still have to attend appointments, checkups, MRI scans and opthalmology appointments. This is a requirement from the Clinical Trial, however I dont mind. I get to h...

Lost in a wilderness of horrors

Last couple of nights have been really tough, not being able to sleep. Long being awake by a thousands thoughts running through my mind. Its now nearly October and I don't even know where I am in the fight. It's not like a broken arm, you know when you will be healed, this Cancer is so up in the air, not even at arms reach to take control. Recently, I was out of action with a 10 day flu, which is serious because it can lead to death and can quickly shut my body down because my immune system is defenceless at this time. It is so hard to find strength and motivation when the whole world keeps going, your still doing treatment, and having to cancel so many catch ups with friends due to sudden illness from chemotherapy reactions. I am not one to sit at home all day, I love driving, coffees, movies and hanging out with friends and family. I am currently on a new Infusion Clinical Trial, which is a all day Infusion, the staff are lovely and the hospital is excellent. I think I ha...
