I had to put Louis in the Kennels on Friday as we had to go to the Mesothelioma’s 5th Conference on the Saturday and as we were having to get such an early train we wouldn’t have time on the Saturday.
It was hard leaving him but we did and then never slept all night worrying about how lonely he must be .
On Saturday we got up at 5 rushed around and set off for Whitstable Station for the fast train to London.
Err only to be told there was working’s on the line and we had to go down to Ramsgate to get the fast train from there—not happy.
We got a Ramsgate train and when we arrived we had to wait an hour for the fast train–ekkk.
We did get the train and it speeds along so fast, which gives you a feeling of flying.
We arrived at St Pancreas and just got to the Novotel Hotel on time and we had a coffee and calmed down.
So many Meso Warriors to meet it was lovely to see my Facebook friends.
We heard the Doctor, Scientist and nurses talk about their work in the field Also the famous Professer Vogl it was great to hear so much information.
Debbie gave a wonderful speech as she is also a fellow sufferer and then it was my turn.
I spoke from the heart and it was soon over and I was so emotional and ran off the stage with the clapping ringing in my ears.

When it came to the end i said my goodbyes and went to our hotel near by with our friends Bill and Betty and dumped our bags and then went to a pub for a well deserved drink and a meal.
Tired we went back to the hotel and dropped straight off to sleep.
In the morning after a good breakfast we went to South Kensington and visited the Museum and then to Trafalgar Square to the National Galleries.
It was soon time for us to say our goodbyes and set off for Ramsgate again on the fast train and then another hours wait for the Whitstable train so we didn’t get in until 9pm Sunday so we answered all our emails and all the congratulations it had been a memorable day.
Got up this morning did an update and boom!!!! my Computer went Blue screen !!Oh no we couldn’t do anything with it so we rushed out and bought a new one–an expense we hadn’t planned for.
We picked the dog up and the owner congratulated Louis for being such a good dog as he really had been so well behaved—so proud of him.
He fell asleep when we got in and so did I to as I was exhausted.
Ray has set up a web site for us meso warriors at www.mesowarriors.com and we have spent all afternoon sorting out info for it–this will keep us busy for a long time but at least it has given Ray something to focus on.
Keep Fighting Meso Warriors and see you all next year xxxx
