Everyday that I do this I’m so grateful for where I am. Last week, I had to lift something very heavy, around 20kg from the floor and walk it out to my car. I had that fear of, am I going to end up in excruciating pain from this. And I did it, and It was fine. I just feel like im getting stronger every day .

I had my 6monthly bloods and check in with my doctor and I was amazed. Besides my cholesterol, everything else was better than what it “should be ” for my age. Even my blood pressure. They told me the chemo that I had a few years ago wouldn’t allow me to get to 70 and I’m now a few months past that. You are literally keeping me alive!!
