Thought I'd start tonights Post with a few pictures, once again it's been a bit of a tough week emotionally.

Not just for me, but for my Godson, who has been very poorly these last few weeks, my love and prayers go out to his family.

 Scrambled about the rocks at Arichrondel last week, lovely to see a bit of sunshine...

 On Tuesday my friend SH held a coffee morning with her team of helpers at the Golf club, managed to raise nearly £600 for Ovacome (the ovarian cancer charity I support) Fantastic amount!

 On Wednesday night my consultant KG did a free talk on The Menopause, and we had donation buckets once again for Ovacome. This time proceeds going towards Stephs "Just Giving" page for the London Marathon. Managed to raise £255 , enough for her to reach her target of £2,500, again we are all very appreciative.

 Just a naughty dog trying to pretend to look like she's well behaved.......

Yesterday I had the results of my scan, it seems as if the tumours in my chest cavity have all but disappeared and the ones in my abdomen have shrunk considerably, so all in all a positive result.

My bloods have been very slow to pick up, so just as well we stopped the chemo when we did, I had another blood test this week too. Despite my best efforts to cough almost continually and frantically wave my right arm about , the port refused to let the blood flow, so had to resort to the arm veins instead.

Whilst this was going on the nurse looked at my cheek and seeing a sore, and red angry graze suggested that I get it checked out.... £40 lighter from the doctors surgery today, I now have antibiotics and cream.....probably the start of impetigo due to my weakened immune system.

I also had a call today from Oncology to say they can book me in for a blood transfusion on Monday, and so two units for me will really help the cardio side. Maybe I'll even be able to 'run' on the Netball court as opposed to last weeks efforts when I felt more spectator than player!

We have started to advertise the Fun Quiz night on April 5th at the Posthorn Pub, please contact me if you think you can get a team together. Its fundraising for Steph and Baz and the London Marathon.

Teams of 4-6 people, £12.50 a ticket includes meal, and quiz. Good raffle prizes too!

A final shout out to my dear friend PE, who is having a tough time at the minute, my love to her and to all those folks who are living with life limiting diseases.
