6 months, it feels like it has been years

It is six months since I had the life changing surgery of having my oesophagus removed due to having oesophageal cancer. It feels as if it has happened years ago. I have debated long and hard about the value of the surgery, but in the end of the day I was a stage 3 cancer patient and waiting for the BEAST to come back would not have been much fun, at least I have a fighting chance of beating it (whatever 1 in 4 is). Eating is still not easy but I managed to have a Big Mac at lunch, strange what you crave when you can not have things.

My husband is off on sick leave with a crohns flair up and a blood clot, not nice! And I am worrying about him constantly. One of the big things that I got from this cancer is the power of love, I honestly do not believe that I would still be here had it not been for my husband crying begging me to live when I did not want to when I was really sick after the surgery. I love him so much.
