Hi, everyone. I just wanted to let you know that Jane seems to be feeling a little better in the last 48 hours. Yesterday we went to visit her nephew, Jacob, currently an in-patient at the Royal Marsden and about to have bone marrow transplant to treat his leukaemia.

Thank you for all the cards, emails and love.

love and best wishes from us both.

Jane is struggling a bit at the moment. The after effects of the radiotherapy have affected her throat and so she is struggling to eat, drink and take her drugs. Nothing tastes good and she is losing more weight. She is also very tired and could sleep all day. We hope and pray this is short term pain for longer term gain.

On the plus side she has had some time in the garden enjoying the sunshine and she has been watching some of the World Cup.

We are at the hospice tomorrow (for palliative care and advice) and we are seeing the orthopaedic consultant on Monday. We are really hoping that Jane will start to feel the benefit in a week or two.

Love to you all.

A very quick one on the anniversary of D Day. Jane has had 4 of the 6 radiotherapy sessions due in this series. After a dreadful few days she felt a lot better yesterday - witnessed by this photo (taken by Lydia yesterday afternoon). Let's hope this lasts.

Thank you for your prayers.

Love

Peter and Jane
