Update

It has been decided that I will have a CT scan the week of the 11th September and a blood test for the CA125 on the same day.

The results of that will determine wether I need a PET scan or an MRI.

There was some other discussion about treatment but I'm only taking a small amount of information in at one time.
Partly because although I listen intently on the phone, and try to retain all that's said, I quite often only focus on one aspect and the rest is lost.

Either way all that matters is let's have the first scan and see what's going on, worry about the rest later.

While I'm at the bad news update I'll continue in the same vein ( no pun intended ).

Our eldest has just had his BRCA 2 results and it appears he too carries the gene.

It's good that he has been tested, at least he can insure he has regular checks.

So now for some good news?

The infamous Aunt Is once again due to visit us, arriving on Saturday for a week....
The "job" list has started and if she gets her chores done I may allow her a few swims in the sea and the odd game of tennis.

Finally ... I was utterly horrified to find out that on offering my 'windfall' apples and pears to the netball girls last night, all but one ( thanks JN!) knew what I was talking about!! They had never heard of windfall.
Too much time buying apples in plastic casing in the supermarket - sad times!

Ps, thank you for all the lovely comments and supportive messages- they really help . Xx
