I find myself writing this on the last day of 2024 and no doubt this evening, despite the weather, will be punctuated with the sound of fireworks.
Today I attended my consultant's appointment and yet again I received the excellent news that I have no identifiable paraprotein and that my light chains are normal. Sadly the consultant I saw was working her last day before retirement. She had chaired the Multi Disciplinary Team at which my treatment was first discussed in October 2011. I shall certainly miss her. The only other piece of information I received was that I shall be subject to a Bone Marrow Biopsy in February but the date has yet to be arranged. Oh joy!
At the very end of November we travelled to Poole in Dorset where we attended the very splendid wedding of our younger son. We had the joy of welcoming another daughter in law and her two sons from her previous marriage. The occasion was so very enjoyable and included catching up with so many family members.
Christmas has, of course, now passed by. This year Margaret and I travel to stay with our elder son, his wife and their son at the weekend before Christmas. We were joined by our younger son and his new family for a fully turkey feast with all the trimmings. For Christmas itself Margaret and I celebrated the occasion quietly at home - bliss.

It only remains for me to wish everyone a very happy and healthy 2025
