A lot to reflect on this year, a lot to hope for next year

Cycle 8, Day 11

Back in August, after I'd been diagnosed but before I'd started treatment, I genuinely didn't know if I'd see the new year. Now, as December draws to a close, I feel as good as I have for the whole of 2022. It's been a rough year, but I'm forgetting all that. 2023 has a lot for me to look forward to, and that is what I'm focusing on.

Some things change over a year, others don't
