Hi all.

I wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone a merry Christmas. To those of us who have lost someone, I wish for you the strength of remaining family and friends.

To those of us still in battle, I wish for us clean test results, and the strength to continue the battle.

To those who are clear but staying to support the rest, thank you for sharing your strength.

I hope 2013 finds us all in a better place.

In the meantime I am immeasurably thankful for my friends and family, and of course everyone here who have bolstered my spirits when they flagged, and given me hope when I despaired.

I will be thinking of you all, and hoping for the best!
