And so it ended. Our incredible journey of nearly 6 months, fighting this monster of a disease called cancer. Or has the journey only just begun....
08-07-06
A date for a new couple, as they glide down the ballroom, hand in hand. But also, a new date for a not-so-new couple too... Nellie and I stepped out together to face the world. Her cancer is now in full remission!
How symbolic indeed that it took the wedding of one of our best friends' daughters to highlight the significance of Nellie's own 'walk down her aisle'. Looking beautiful as ever, in her beige dress, in stilts and oh... her favourite hair, of course.
We laughed, we shared, we told our usual golf stories, our wins... our spirits were high. What a lovely evening. To be amongst friends. People who, just 6 months before, rallied behind our crusade. With their thoughts, their prayers. It's such a lonely battle to fight alone.. this monster. Indeed, we fought a good fight. We won!
Over the next blog entries, Nellie and I will document what happened over the last 6 months when she was first told.. "I think there's a tumour in your ovary!"
We hope this successful fight of ours will provide, in small perhaps immeasurable but hopefully significant ways, for you to gather the strength that she somehow managed to find, in her darkest hours over those 6 months..
