I have been around the block a bit! Since the middle of November when the cancer reoccurance scare began, I have had 6 surgeries and PET/CT, MRI, CT scans and xrays. I have had blood test, tissue tests and serum tests. Well I am pleased and very happy to announce that the doctor believes it was a false alarm!!!! I had my drain removed last week and things are really on the up. I am still quite tired and I have to work on my strength, but things look good so far. I will be back to the every 3 month scan to monitor the situation. I still cant believe it. I was so convinced I was going to die. I still might, but not too soon I hope! Only about 15% of us remain cancer free after 3 years (the number doesnt really drop too much after that!) so I have another 22 months to go before I really let my guard down. But I will continue to enjoy myseld and bask in life. Hans has been really great throughout this and I cannot imagine what it would have been like without his support.
I am back in my Swedish class for 3 hours everyday. Hopefully I can get to the point where I am not so nervous speaking Swedish. The next chance to take the national test will be in June and I am determined to take it then so I can move up to the next level which is for professional people. I will need to pass at least two more national tests if I want to work in a museumm or university.
Hans and I bought a lovely little 2004 Nissan Micra, bright red. It is too cute and has a happy little design. It is perfect for us and the cat and is small enough that even Hans can parallel park it.
We are hopefully getting another cat at the end of summer. My sister just picked up a stray and brought it home. Apparently it is very friendly and social despite living in a cat colony. My mom had it neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped and the paperwork for its transatlantic move has started. I know it is crazy to move a stray cat from the US to Sweden,but I never do anything the way I should. He is beautiful and I will try to post a picture of him soon.
