Almost a very heavy year later.....

Indeed I'm not dead. But so far it have been a very heavy year for me.

I wasn't sure if I was going to post this post and to be honest I'm still not sure. So don't be surprised when this blog post is suddenly gone.

First part of the year I had several painting projects going on. Then when  Covid 19 hit our country I had more and more work to do (I am a mailman) because people started to order more and more online. Because of that I had less time to paint. In time because of all the work I became also very tired. This made me stop painting completely.

Then around July everything went wrong with me.

I had intestinal complaints and I didn't feel too well.

First thing I did was a visit to the doctor. But they couldn't find anything so they made an appointment with the hospital for a broad examination. The outcome wasn't good. 

The diagnosis is that I have colon cancer.

Within a few days I had to start with a heavy treatment.

First 5 days of of radiation therapy. Followed by a heavy chemo treatment. This treatment takes 18 weeks. When I write this I still have 5 weeks of chemotherapy to go. Followed by surgery. Goal is a complete healing.

Due to side effects of the chemo I can no longer hold miniatures and so painting is now completely stopped.

Hopefully my next post will be more positive.

Thanks for reading.
