Saturday 24th October 2009



Jane started her course of chemotherapy this morning. The plan is that she should undertake 3 cycles each of 3 weeks consisting of 2 weeks of chemo and a week to recover. We'll see how it goes. I have attached a couple of pictures from our recent holiday in Turkey.

I think some of you know that Jane's nephew, Jake, is really ill with acute lymphoblastic leukemia - please pray for him and especially his immune system too.

Love from us all.

Saturday 10th October 2009

We haven't blogged for a while but there has been some news that I want to post now. Jane took quite a while to get over the radiology that she received back in July. She still seems to have really achy hips despite the treatment. More recently she had to have a brainscan but, mercifully, that has come back clear.

However, the tumours in her liver have doubled in size and the markers in her blood have gone up sufficiently that the oncologist has advised more chemotherapy. She will start on 23 October for an initial course of 9 weeks. We are going on holiday with the children for a week before the treatment starts.

I am not posting photographs because I know that some of you download onto laptops whilst on trains etc. No pictures means you can download more quickly - in any case there are plenty of pics in the archives. That said, if we get any memorable pictures on holiday we may post a couple.

In the meantime, thank you so much for all your continuing prayers; they mean a great deal to us and they work.

Love to you all.
