Thank you & my Herceptin has started !!
9 January 2018
A few words from Damon : I don't know where to start. Ever since I was hit by the devastating news just before Christmas I was in denial for the first few weeks but I knew I had to be positive and that's how I have been since. As people started to learn why I had not been looking well over the past few months I was hit by everyone's positive support, amazing messages, the love and the response and help towards my Herceptin medication.
I guess you can never prepare yourself for things that are out of your control but the one thing I am in control of is the fight and determination to beat this somehow, even if I have been given a timeline. To me that's just not what's going to happen and apparently my stubbon ass won't let that happen anyway hahaha.
It broke my heart to have to tell my kids what's wrong with Me, but having their Mum and Holly there, who they both love so much, was the help I needed to tell them about that horrid C word.
Six weeks on and I have had two chemo sessions out of 15 and one dose of Herceptin. The Herceptin is the unfunded drug that apparently does good things and I want that extra time. Ever since my first round of chemo I have actually felt the best I have felt energy wise in a long time and this is because my blood levels have finally risen, I have gained weight and I am not a pale ghost now haha. I put a lot of this down to how I have been loved and cared for by my wife Holly and the healthy veges shakes she has made for me at all times of the day ;)
I aim to get around and see as many people as I can over the next little while, but until then can I please thank each and everyone of you for donations but more importantly the love that everyone has shared
