As I was having a heart scan to check my heart is ok for chemotherapy this afternoon at 3.30 pm on 10.4.2026 - my daughter was being prepared for an emergency c- section.

I had received a message from my daughter she had gone to hospital with extreme pain at lunchtime but I had my own heart scan appointment so could not do anything to help .

Then just as I was setting off for my appointment I had received a call from the Oncology team to discuss my chemo appointments but I put them off until Monday.

After my appointment I sat all afternoon in the Costa cafe in the hospital waiting for news from my daughter's partner..

My little baby Granddaughter had decided to make her grand entrance 10 days earlier than planned !

After a worrying time a brand new member of our family was born and boy the little one certainly has cheered everybody up - even her Mum after her rush to hospital and long hours of pain waiting for her midwife and obstetric team to make an urgent plan.

What an amazing day and welcome to the world my beautiful little Granddaughter!

Granddaughters are such a joy. They give so much love, mine are all very practiced at the bottom out hug so the don't hurt me after my surgery. They bring fun and laughter into the darkest days. I don't know how I would have got through the last 6 months without mine. More tears were she'd over cancelled visits because of snotty noses then ever they has been over diagnosis of treatment.I felt great comfort holding a very scruffy little bunny that had been loaded with hugs, in case I needed them, while waiting to go in for surgery.

Many congratulations truly granddaughters are stars that shine. I hope all are well. You now have so much to look forward to.

Thank you so much for your kind words. My little Granddaughter is just the tonic I need to cheer me up and, alongside her 3 year old brother, give me the strength to tackle my long stretch of chemo and then radiotherapy (it will apparently take me up to the end of September / beginning October to climb that challenging mountain but I will manage it somehow. Gentle hugs everybody x
