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 have another blessed Christmas with my wife and family this year which I can't wait! I love christmas and being with the family. Its really special because I am still here and miracles do happen.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone who has donated to my cause. To the businesses and people this year who have given donations and provided fundraisers. Thankyou to Sarah Brewer my wonderful sister for organising awesome fundrasiers such as the Shopping Tour 2015 which was an amazing success.

To my Mum, Jessica, and Sarah for organising a Christmas Raffle which was a great success.

Thankyou to my wonderful Mother Sue who has come to all of my appointments, given up work, my fulltime carer, appointment organizer, driver, supporter and above all the best mother in the world.

And my beautiful wife Jessica. My best friend. The one who works so hard everyday, gets up early, and I come home to warm hugs, love and support. My rock and the love of my life. Jess is my life and she makes me worth living. Thankyou for everything.

To all of my supportive friends and family, friends of the cancer community, friends of friends and everyone who is supporting my fight against Giloblastoma Multiforme Brain Cancer I wish you all a lovely Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Please take the time to be greatful, thankful and appreciate your family and friends around you.
