    You will have noticed that one of our more prolific ovarian cancer group members – In The Pink – has been uncharacteristically silent over the past couple of weeks.  Unfortunately Jackie has been in the Marsden for the past 12 days as her bowels are not cooperating at the moment.   I had a lovely long chat with her this morning, and asked whether it would be OK for me to update you on her progress.  She’s feeling…

    Thank you so much for all your replies to and kind comments on my last blog.  You’ve all helped me so much.  Two weeks on, I’m starting to come to terms with what’s happened.  The pain is increasing rapidly but I now have Zomorph twice a day, and Oramorph to top up as needed, so things are under control.  Just wish the drugs didn’t make me so sleepy – I have too much to do to spend my days nodding off!…

    Well - it's the end of an era.  After nearly 25 years with my company,  I have accepted voluntary redundancy and at the end of the year I will officially become a lady of leisure.

    So ...  Merry Christmas, and a happy and healthier New Year to everyone.

    I've just got home but wanted to thank you both straight away for a really lovely party - your garden is gorgeous, Kate - and I'm in love with Bonnie and Clyde! And weren't we lucky with the weather. You had both gone to so much trouble (and Alan and Terry too). The food was great, as was everything else - lovely hospitality and as always the privilege of getting to know other WhatNow members. It will be a day to…
