Quick update

Hello everyone,

Survived my 4 Th chemo ..... much much better this time thanks to a new drug ......... no vomiting at all!!! I wonder where that has been hiding all my life. Still nausea but much more manageable.

Had hot chips one night and curry the next so it really is a miracle drug!!!

Makes the next few chemo's much more approachable.

My kids have been having a beautiful long weekend at Koroit and Port Fairy attending my gorgeous Uncle Jimmy Scott's 80th birthday afternoon tea party. By all accounts it has been a lovely experience. Its nice to see Bridget and Danny meeting cousins and relatives at a celebration other than a wedding or a funeral. Not that I've got anything against weddings or funerals!

I'm busy day dreaming about our holiday and have managed to watch about 10 episodes of the West Wing this weekend without Bridget or Danny around and Greg happily pottering around and looking after my every wish!!. Nothing like taking your mind off the nausea and the fact that St Kilda have also relapsed!!! Big time. Its looks like we're both back at the drawing board but at least they get draft picks next year if they continue to LOSE all the time!!!

Oh well I get a fantastic holiday with my family and a really enormous reminder/ wakeup call about the importance of enjoying today!!!

Love to you all.

Thanks for your love and support.

Great to see you're on your way to wellness and ...like a long car trip ...when you're on your way back it feels a lot quicker than the journey there!

Looking forward to a catch up ...

Good on you Paulien ...go girl!

Keeping active keeps you sane, eating well gives you energy and don't we all love food, being out and about in the cold makes you feel, enjoying those kiddies even being waited on hand and foot...is reciprocatd love!

We are thinking of you and so looking forward to a catch up!
