I can't believe that it's been another year, that has gone past. So much has happened this year. So I guess it easier to share photos than write an essay. Starting off, Yvette bought be tickets to see Joe Bonamassa in Amsterdam for my birthday. What an amazing gift. We travelled Holland in May, and had a fantastic time. This was all in between my various treatments. I did have to go for radiation in February, as I had lesions on my hips and lower spine.
With ongoing treatments this year, my cancer levels increased to the highest they have ever been. This was at the time, when I was extremely busy at work. I finally made the call to stop working from July 2019, so that I could concentrate on getting better. After the fact, I realised how much stress I was under. Although I had stopped working in July, it seems that all health challenges started stacking-up....I ended up in hospital in August with pneumonia, and have had extensive problems with my back. I went for a second round of radiation for my hips of radiation in September, but have had continual problems with lower and upper back, to the extent that some days I cant walk properly. My latest x-rays show some more broken ribs, which is common with myeloma. I plan to see my spinal doctor in January to see what can be done.
Another highlight, is that my work threw a going away function for me, a black tie event, it was absolutely amazing! I'm so grateful for all the complementary words from my current and past colleagues. I also had a chance to jam with Dr Victor and the Rasta Rebels, which was absolutely amazing!

Other highlights was attending the Dire Straights Experience concert. I'm glad to be enjoying our end of the year holiday at Struisbaai, although I have had a lot of bed time, and also ongoing treatment.
Blessings for 2020!
And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient
