Along with about 2,000 other gals me and my wonderful daughters and friends did the race today. It was the most moving thing ever, just to see so many people there who have either lost someone to this god awful disease or have someone going through it, or are racing because they have cancer!
We had a wonderful day, we dressed as pink pussy cats including tails!, My daughters were the honey bunnys................... I felt very emotional and walked the 5k with a big lump in my throat, especailly as my racing comrades had messages on their backs to support me. i am very lucky to have such lovley caring friends, and not just those that joined me today but all those who sponsored me to raise over £300!
Afterwards we had a party at home and the girls decorated the house in pink and my youngest daughter Kate made a banner which we hung outside the house and lots of pink balloons. Everyone came, even my son in law, we buried the hatchet and decided life is too short for ill feeling. :) It made my day because we were all together. I was with the people i care most about.
Reality tomorrow back at the hospital for more scans and x rays and then in on Thursday for the op............................... I feel really odd in some ways because at this present moment i feel like i am in a strange unreal place, i know what is on the horizon, and it doesnt scare me anymore................... not sure if i should be scared? Perhaps i will get a wake up call before Thursday and become a gibbering wreck
Anyway enough waffle i am off to look at the HEART FM website, they took our picture in all our pink and said it would be on their website. I know i know fame at last .................. autographs later ok. :)
Love
Jules xx
