    I have been away since first thing this morning watching my nephew in a speech and drama competition - he was in 6 classes and got 6 1st class distinctions so we were well pleased - but the classes were spaced out and I didnt get home until 8.30!!! Its his sister's turn on wednesday but her classes are all in the morning.

    In the afternoon I had to go to my cancer clinic.
    I have known for a while that my tumour had grown again but was waiting for some definite news before I told you all. It has more than doubled in the last 3 months so it needs to be dealt with again.
    I had a CT scan last week and went to get the results today. I wont bore you with all the details but as suspected I need more chemotherapy. First of all I have to have a colonoscopy and a bone scan to check if it's anywhere else that hasnt been spotted. I also have to fit in a weeks muscle treatment before I start the chemo as my chemo will last 18 weeks (6 x 3 weeks cycles) and I cant get my muscle treatment while on it and couldnt wait another 18 weeks!
    I will be back at the clinic in 2 weeks to finalise my treatment start date and will have had my other investigations by then so lots going on.
    It is hoped to start my chemo in 4 weeks time.

    So now you know why I have been pushing myself to get things sorted in the house - I knew what was coming and how I will feel so need to get as much done as possible as 1 week in 3 I will not be feeling like doing much - except awarding stars!!!

    sorry for being OT but I hope you will understand.

    I am ok with it as I knew this was highly probable - I have had over a year without treatment and that was a huge bonus. I need you all to help keep me going over the next 4 weeks to get the place as tidy and clean as possible and get as many of my jobs from the list (thats why I started it!!) done before I start the chemo. lots of kicks up my bum needed!!!

    Toots, sweetheart......what can I say......what can I do......I'm so sorry that this is happening to you. I can only hope that the specialist care that you get does what is necessary for you to be properly sorted out. As quickly as possible.

    Much love to you and every day I will say a little mantra for you to hasten healing. xx
