Hi everyone,
This is Lizzie's daughter, Debs, here.
Mum, or Lizzie as you all knew her, sadly passed away on 29th September 2011. I hope you don't mind me logging in to her account but I know what a fantastic support group you all were for her and I know it really helped her being able to talk to other people going through similar experiences - she drew a lot from being out to share her thoughts and feelings…

I am feeling well and do not need any more treatment at present but I will have a checkup and blood test every…
Had my last session of chemo on 6th January and oh, did it feel good to know it was finished, (hopefully for a long time, although I will need more at some stage). Anyway, I am feeling good right now and have a CT scan booked for 11th February followed by a meeting with my consultant on the 21st to discuss the results.
