Just wanted to share something POSITIVE with you!

A couple of weeks ago, almost exactly one year after John was discharged from the hospital after his sct, he conducted an orchestra.
I started to collect the £5000 it costed last year when we knew the sct had worked, and it was just WONDERFUL to see him doing this. He did an amazing job and people in the audience told me they would never have noticed that he was ill if I hadn't told them.

I was playing in the orchestra and I am so happy we could do this together. It is a jewel I will keep in my heart forever. Usually I don't like to speak about cancer as a battle, but this surely feels like a victory!

Hi Amelie
It is nice to hear something positive,it was something he dreamed of and you made it come true,I like to think some good comes out of bad things even if it is only a learning curve.

I hope both of you have a long wish list and you make every day count.
When my husband was first diagnosed my thoughts were we are so lucky,we have done so much with are lives,people still look at me if I am mad!!!! but that is the way I feel,if we had waited for retirement at 65,we would have missed out on so much,and that why we are so lucky

So make sure you make everyday count,and you are right it is a victory,and lets hope we have lots,lots more of them.Eve

Hi Ameloe what a wonderful achievement for both of you You are right to feel proud of yourselves!! I am sure it helped Johns recovery enormously!! Treasure those memories of your wonderful acheievement Shame you couldnt have recorded it for us to hear Which instruments do you play? I have always envied people with musical talent , I could just about manage the triangle!!Haha love Bridget x

Thanks everyone for the kind words!
It wasn't only a gift for John, but it also helps me a lot in my powerlessness. I know it sounds silly, but part of me never accepted that I can't rescue him from the mm – this doesn't rescue him either but it makes sense and that is a nice feeling when everything seems meaningless.

Bridget, it was a string orchestra (violins, violas, celli and doublebasses). We were 27 musicians. I will remember you when we need someone to play the triangle!!!

Love
Amelie
