The sun is shining
Thanks to Peter Williams and Damien Tampling for providing me with a number of options to host a blog. I was using the Google Blog site but somehow I have lost access to that site and all my work to date. A little disappointing, but it is likely to have nothing to do with Google and all to with my technical ability.
I have decided to keep a simple blog as a short record of my engagement with Follicular Lymphoma. It will also allow my friends and family to stay updated with the journey.
On of the things that first strikes you when you receive news such as this and begin to share it with family and friends is the discomfort and understandable awkwardness most individuals feel when responding. Generally, most are unsure about how to help, how often they should enquire about your health, what questions to ask etc. So I figure that by having this information out there this will help somewhat.
I am now on my odd sabbatical. I handed over my responsibilities on the 1st of February and then transitioned out of the practice. It is a really odd experience. I had imagined spending 3 months in Italy or France or somewhere – not Camberwell. It is what it is.
I am extremely grateful and fortunate that I am able to take this time to focus on getting better. The Deloitte partnership is special that way. Its not until you need this type of support that you can truly appreciate its value. So a very big thank you to all at Deloitte for supporting me.
I was diagnosed with this form of cancer on the 21st of December 2011. The first hint that something was not quite right was on the 4th of December 2011.
