August 2016. No growth or skrinkage in the tumor size. The specialist Doctors are amazed at the remarkable state of health I am in and what an incrediable journey it has been.
On Tuesday last week, I had my MRI and results taken. Officially the doctors have done an official measurement. I only have 3% tumour left. They can't officially say I am in remission as this not used in brain cancer. It could either be scar tissue or risidual tumor. This is the best news of the year! Time to embrace this wonderful news and celebrate!!! Woohoo! C'mon baby!!
My eyesight has returned back to normal and regular MRI scans show just a tiny spec of the tumour which may be dead tissue or risidual scar tissue, they can't tell because they need to do a biospy however that is too dangerous as a result it may end up in a wheelchair. It's has been God's blessing on me.
In the last couple of months I have been studying to become a HSA ( Health Services Assistant) or PSA (Personal Services Assistant) in Hospitals or Aged Care facilties to become hospital ordly or theatre technician.
This study hass been fantastic so far and can't wait to get a job and contribute back into the health system. So far with my journey I still get wonderful people supporting me and I have managed through my cancer networks to find local people who I am supporting through mental health support and encouragement. Its so good to help one another, especially motivation and let them know they are not alone with this terrible cancer and that there is always hope, so far I am still on the ABT 414 clinical trial and continuing regular checkups, blood tests, MRIs and GP appointments, I am so blessed.
It is time to relax and enjoy my new home and garden. Take some more time for personal reflection and plan and dream. I can invest in people and invest in myself. Aspire and inspire those who are in need and start looking into doing the things I want to do piror to getting cancer.
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for all the wonderful medical team at the Austin Hospital Olivia Newton John Cancer and Wellness centre, my wife, family and friends and all the generous donations. I will continue on this journey. Thankyou all.
