Bumps in the Road

We are plodding along.

What seemed so strange and scary at the beginning has somehow become normal.  There is a new standard to measure by and everything is fine, by this new standard, good even.  Until it isn't.  Until there is a bump in the road.

We have now passed the halfway point of treatment.  Hugo is currently on month 20, with 18 more to go.  We are on the downhill slope towards the end of treatment.  That light at the end of the tunnel is getting ever so slightly brighter.

I have often wondered what it would be like to be famous, to be photographed and interviewed. That's probably my over active imagination at work again, but I suspect I'm not alone in being curious.
