Yep still doing this which means… I’m still here! As I hope to be a year from now to continue this annual message of hope (from that first time in 2009) when I boldly posted my daybook turned to January 3rd 2010 with the words “STILL HERE!” written on it. After having been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer mid-2008 and going through three major operations and chemo twice and being told my chances of survival weren’t very good. But I made it to January 2010 and I hope to keep posting this every January 3rd for some time to come.  Watch this space. ❤️

hope 2026

Well wouldn’t you know it… still here! And hope to still be here a year from now. I continue with this annual message of hope since that first time in 2009 when I boldly posted my daybook turned to January 3rd 2010 with the words “STILL HERE!” written on it, after having been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer mid-2008 and going through three major operations and chemo and being told my chances of survival weren’t very good. But I made it to January 2009 and I hope to keep posting every January 3rd for some time to come.  Watch this space. ❤️

hope 2025

Even though I got kicked out of the Cancer Club last month (after 15 years!) I think I still want to continue this annual message of hope from that first time in 2009 when I boldly posted my daybook turned to January 3rd 2010 with the words “STILL HERE!” written on it, after having been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer mid-2008 and going through three major operations, one nasty bout of chemo and being told my chances of survival weren’t very good. But I made it to January 2009 and really hoped to make it to the next. Little did I know I was about to spend most of 2009 on chemo and recovering from a recurrence. But it turned out that I was still there in January 2010! And (so far) I’m still here now and hope to be here next January 3rd too. Watch this space. ❤️

hope 2024

Yep, still here. Another year has come and gone since January 3rd 2009 when I posted a photo of my battered old daybook turned to January 3rd 2010 with the words “STILL HERE!” written on it, as part of a weekly Photo Challenge – the theme that week was Hope. I had finished a second stint of chemo a few months previously and this felt like a very bold thing to do – to hope I’d still be here on the same day a year hence.

I have continued the “tradition of hope” since then and have posted a similar photo on this date each year. Here’s hoping (as always!) that I will still be here January 3rd 2024, and will see this page in my book… and then post my hopeful wish for 2025. ❤️

hope 2023

Yep, it’s that time of year again. You may recall that way back on January 3rd 2009 I posted a photo of my battered old daybook turned to January 3rd 2010 with the words “STILL HERE!” written on it, as part of a weekly Photo Challenge I was doing at the time – the theme that week was Hope. I had finished a second stint of chemo a few months previously and this felt like a very bold thing to do – to hope I’d still be here on the same day a year hence.

I have continued the “tradition of hope” since then and have posted a similar photo on this date each year. So, as always, here’s hoping that I will still be here January 3rd 2023, and will see this page in my book… and then post my hopeful wish for 2024.
