It's exactly eleven years since my cancer diagnosis.  Some - I sense possibly a minority of - people are able to put it behind them, forget.  Most that I have met do not, or cannot.  The intensity lessens but the memory remains and is, for me anyway, important.  It reminds me what a wonderful gift life is, how amazing the NHS is, and how blessed I am. 

Today I had brunch out. Today I went to a Pilates class.  Small pleasures.  Great sources of joy and pleasure.

Annual nag - get the screening, do the checks, report the concerns... life is a gift, so let's all cherish it!
