So where am I now?

 I had a "clear" scan in August, and am not on any treatment currently except anti-epilepsy drugs. All being well I might get my driving licence back very soon, but we've gone to being a 1 car family and unless I need a car to get to a job further afield then we'll be staying as a 1 car family for the forseeable.
My next scan is in the summer, & can I just say that waiting 12 months between scans is torture? I'm at a point where since diagnosis I have never been this long between scans & every ache & pain gets me stressed. I'm not prepared to give myself the description "survivor" yet, the stats are 50% of people with a BT die within 5 years, so there is plenty of time for things to go wrong yet :-(
I'm planning to do my bit though, & am hoping to enter the Liverpool to Chester bike ride in July to raise funds for Brain Tumour UK. All being well I intend Josh to join me, we could both do with getting a bit fitter & it will probably be easier together than in isolation.
