    I've had a lovely day today, (after the hiccups with the trains) at a hotel in London at the TargetOvarian Well Being Day.  It is wonderful that some many people are now trying to do things to bring this disease to peoples knowledge.  A  meeting of people with the same illness, and hints and tips of making the most of yourself.  Just what we need so you don't feel so isolated.  My friend that came with me was very impressed…

    Well, here I am back at home after my weeks away.  Holiday all but forgotten about after a week with my daughter, doing the school runs for her girls while she is on teaching practice.

    It's lovely having time at home, but then the brain starts again - what is that ache in my lower tummy, what about the pain in my side... how do you convince your self the cancer is not back when you are in remission.  Every little pain…
