Hope you are sitting comfortably

So as promised, here is a short update following my scan earlier today. The main point was that things are not going as planned. Despite good blood tests the cancer is spreading, and the exisiting tumours are still slowly growing. What this means for my treatment I don't know but I will find out in a couple of weeks at my next appointment, unless they call me in earlier.

Anyway, enough of that old rubbish, we plan to make the most of the next couple of weeks, especially as I am definitely feeling better day by day. So we have good friends Duncan and Sara coming up from the Forrest of Dean next weekend, and we plan a few days, and probably nights enjoying ourselves. As Easter approaches, we certainly plan a few days out with the family, but we might have to temper that by making sure the loft is finally cleared for a start date of 8 April, which just happens to be the same day as my next appointment.  And I know Sarah is in 2 minds about going to Iceland now, but I have told her to go and enjoy herself, as more than anyone, she deserves a good break.

Keep in touch all

    Strenght to you and yours Dene,

    I have seen nothing but wonderous shots of Icelandic nature, I'm sure Sarah could bring you some shots of the wonderful scenery there. Spring blossoms there now right?

    We are heading back to NZ so if the gals feel like a tour there will be a spare room for their first stop.

    Thoughts with yours. The Allens (yes it autocorrects to Aliens).

    Dene, My thoughts and love are with you, Sarah and the family. Even though it was 2009 that we were sitting at the back of your Mum's house having a bbq, it is still vivid in my mind. It was the best part of our trip to England and wish we could be there now to share a few glasses of wine again. There is a lot of love between you guys, so enjoy. Love you guys heaps. Margaret and Bill xxxxx
