Let’s get the good news out of the way first

Yes it was good news, I have been given the “all clear” I will be checked every 3 months with a blood test and hospital visit to keep me screened.

It took a while to sink in as the last 12 months has been a very tough time; my life has felt in a form of suspended animation.

I have been given my second chance and I want to enjoy life.

My energy levels have been getter better over the last 5 weeks since chemotherapy stopped and I have started to do my aerobics again and walking 2 miles every 2 days.

I now don’t fall asleep every afternoon and I feel my days are so much fuller.

I have also got a healthy diet, fruit every day, green vegetables at least 3 times a week with grilled chicken or fish)

I bought a bicycle

As part of my fitness and target setting routine I had wanted to get back into cycling again, Southend has lots interesting places to visit and photograph and is a good place to cycle about in.

Also it helps keep the carbon footprint reduced my Ms Persechino.

And I had in mind to train up to enter some charity bike rides to raise money for Cancer research.

So on a stroll I come across a second hand bike shop and bought myself a bike and safety helmet for £90 – bargain!

Saturday socialising

I ran a workshop at Bicon 2 years ago. Bicon is a event for bisexual people and one of the best places for trans people to meet a partner and also some great friends.

A lot of transwomen don’t always think through the process of meeting a partner (by trans-woman I mean transsexual)

I think this is a whole blog on its own; the sexual life of a male to female transsexual can be very difficult.

Anyway back on path, as I am now feeling well I am going to a Bicon coffee meeting in London on Saturday.

I want to meet some new friends and I do hope one day I will meet a new partner, we shall see.

Tuesday 4^th May

I am getting a new tattoo on my left wrist and a Monroe piercing on my face.

I got my hair tinted and cut and feel alive again.

Bike update

I have just given Bella her first ride and it felt wonderful cycling again.

Yes she has a name J

Gender reassignment surgery

Well this got off track last year due to the big C.

After I got the all clear I raised the question re my “op” the doctor said it was a big op etc etc after what I been through, I explained to him that the NHS does not work first and the ball needs to roll now (sorry the Virgo in me).

He is writing to the gender clinic and I hope as we enter the winter months I will get my op date to be complete.
