Update

After almost two months of absence, I am back to keep you posted on my life. I am since the outbreak of my disease (see the post from December 20th) back in Sweden. My studies have been paused for now and I am slowly recovering from the operations I went through in Austria in December. From being more or less paralyzed and unable to move distances longer than 100 meters at the very most, I am now capable of walking again, with occasional stops every now and then. The scars are still there, both physically and mentally, and the pain is a constant reminder of the things that have taken place. It's something I am learning to live with, and it will most probably not be a short and easy process. That's OK, I never liked to live life the easy way anyhow.

Despite my improved condition, I am still sick and the disease can break out anytime again. Treatment cannot eliminate the disease at this point, but if it breaks out, measures will be taken for a complete elimination of the disease. Such measures might cure me from this disease, but it might at the same time cause other chronic difficulties.

I am very optimistic about the outcome and I am sure about getting out of this safe and sound. The real problem is the way I have to walk in order to reach my goal, to defeat cancer and to be fully recovered. To live life normally again, and to return to the life I happily was living before all these things happened.

I said that I would be back, but I am perhaps not ready to post regularly. This is a simple update, and it will hopefully be replaced by newer and more positive updates in a near future.

Thank you for reading, and keep stopping by.
