    Hi all,

    Gillian, hope you feeling better. How many left?

    Moomy, glad you enjoyed your weekend.

    Hope everyone else is well.

    I competed in the Derbyshire clubs' cross country on Sunday, it was a first for me (I am saying yes to most things at the minute). It was extremely muddy and involved running through a stream 4 times but I really enjoyed it.  I am a bit slow but didn't quite come last (4 people behind me lol).

    Love to all

    Jakki xxx

    Well done Jakki! - Just think, if I'd never had cancer, chemo, or RT, and i'd been competing against you; you'd still have beaten me... or... How the eck you have  the energy to do anything like that, already, this soon after that horrible ABVD et al!

    A long relaxing weekend here, William was over as it was my birthday.... Lots of time raiding the local charity shops again, which got me two new skirts, and I had a few more clothes things arrive in the mail... Plus got some perfume, and a new leather hat from William...

    had an Indian last night for my birthday meal and then to the pub as per useual, afterwards... - discovered really cold beer from my fridge, now, with my neuropathy is too painful for me to hold the can - so I had to wear  a single leather glove, so I could hold the beer!

    Afternoon tea/coffee out, this afternoon with William's daughter, who was 'oo-ing' over my hair, as  she'd not seen it since I had a haircut about a month ago; I think she's right,  my hair is growing back (well I never quite lost it all anyhow), thicker than it used to be!

    Took some practise today, out in this new longer skirt, to prevent the wind from blowing it up!

    Planning a weekend away at my Dad's, soon, then I've a week of nearly every day hospital visits for a mixture of scan, oncology, and endocrinology clinics... - then off to London on the 3rd Dec, to see Deep Purple again, at the O2 arina I think this time, with an old friend from school... then, of course, off not long after that for three weeks to Sweden, over Christmas and the new year... - I must try organise everything soon for that, I'm so disorganised at the moment!

    hope everyone else is OK, and not suffering too much from treatment or the weather as we start to head proper into winter now I think...

    Happy birthday Mark,if i'd known i'd have baked a cake for you,sounds like you're having fun clothes shopping,well done you for being true to yourself

    We have a poorly Polly,she's been gone for a couple of days & a lady came to the door to say she thought they had our cat on their lawn,she's been under the hedge all day & not moved,we can't find any injuries,she can walk but is a bit wobbly but is very fussy & purring,we rang emergency vet who doesn't seem to think it's anything serious & said to keep her indoors,warm & calm,at the minute she's fast asleep in a box wrapped up in a fluffy dressing gown,fingers crossed after a good sleep she'll be fine

    So how is everybody then,Jakki clearly has far too much energy at the minute,hope all are as well as can be 

    Love & hugs

    xx

    Happy birthday Mark, you sound like life is good at the moment 

    Hope Polly i. Ok, maybe she is just exhausted from all those kittens 

    Jakki it make me tired just reading your posts  

    I hope everyone else is ok, 

    I had another blood transfusion today so should feel better tomorrow. I have three more chemo's to go if the tingling in my fingers has abated by next Tuesday when I go to the oncologist. We will have to wait and see.

    sister snail - Oh... no, poor kitty... I hate it when animals are ill, well, for the same reason with very young children, you can't even explain to them what it is taht is wrong, or, in reverse, get them to say where/what hurts etc!
     
    Jakki; thanks for the Guinness! (actually having a booze free night tonight after the last four or so days! - working up to my next big night out with a drinking friend!; well, I know what dress I'll wear that night, my new linen one!)

    Gillian - Yes, I think  life is good at the moment... - Still suffering the after affects of the chemo and radiotherapy, but, sort of facing life with a new determination now, I never quite had before all this cancer stuff! - So, trying to do as much as I can even if sometimes still certianly not feeling anything like 100%, fatigue still a constant problem, but getting more livable/workable around I think... thanks!
    Hope the transfusions go OK, I managed to skip any transfusions during my chemo, best of luck with your remaining infusions if they do go ahead, and hope your tingling/neuropathy abates, I hate my residual neuropathy so much...

     

    Off to bed here soon, for me, after another cup of peppermint tea, so hope everyone else is snuggled up nice and warm; starting to feel cool here, and glad of these new warmer leggings I bought and the thicker dress I have now...

    Hope all are OK
