Let’s see if it will take a still shot from the video
Oh my, she does look very regal there!
I just wanted to let you know that the site doesn't get on too well with embedded/uploaded videos (they take up too much storage), and so they usually fail to play.
It's not against our Community Guidelines to share a video (a link from YouTube, for example), providing the content itself doesn't 'break the rules'. It's just not worth trying to share a video file using the 'Insert' function, as that doesn't typically work.
I hope that all makes sense.
Concert sounds fun Angie and Lily looks very regal indeed!
I am going for my biopsy on Saturday, then on Sunday I am going to a farm market follow by a pub Sunday roast with some friends so looking forward to that!
Weather supposed to be much better this week so looking forward to 20C !

Wow Stella, who would have thought that a few weeks ago! You have just made typical Stella progress and we can all learn from that. Keep fighting everyone

Hey Susan, you are going through a lot I know but they are offering you chemo for a reason so just go with it. I had to fight end of 2024 but I got the lucky punch so no giving up yet. Some studies indicate that 50 % of successful therapy is down to attitude. Keep your chin up, get your doctors on board and stay as positive as you can

Stella, best of luck for Saturday. I shall keep my fingers and everything else available crossed for a good outcome. Nice to be going for lunch the following day. Sounds like a good plan. How is Winston getting on? Hope he is giving you loads of cuddles. Have a good week. Love from

Hi Patrick
I seem to go to a medical facility every working day of the week. 3 appointments before the biopsy appointment, one with lung specialist nurse, one with pre op assessment nurse , then final one for the blood tests etc for the biopsy. Plus 3 appointments for the GP nurse to dress the wound. On the plus side, since I have to stay in London again prior to the biopsy, I am going for some retail therapy, haircuts, and lovely Thai dinner out on Friday. So a busy week ahead of me.
I had three offers of jobs is well so now imaging possible go back to work! Really could do with some holiday and relaxation instead.
How are you doing? Any holiday plan for this year?
Hi Angie
Thank you! I am looking forward to this robotic navigational bronchoscopy biopsy. Not get to cut open for a change. It all looks very high tech. It is a shame that I will be under GA during the procedure as it would be interesting to watch.
Winston has been a good boy and rather chilled and happy. However, he would not be impressed when we leave him on Friday night. May have to bribe him with some treats afterwards.
Hope your tests went well x
Afternoon Stella, isn’t is amazing how well you are getting on. It was such an inspired move to get a second opinion
Wow retail therapy, you can’t beat it . I have developed a small lump just above my eyebrow and waiting for the plastic surgery team to give me a date to remove it. Not sure if it is actually connected to the cancer or just a benign growth. Time will tell, but better get it removed asap. Due to my renal graft I am more susceptible to these growth, thanks to my immune suppression medication. my thoughts just turned to Stacy and I hope she is doing ok. Maybe her folk will give us an update in the near future. Have a successful shopping and pampering session and give Winston a big furry hug from Lilly. Love to you all
