Countdown is on

I feel like I'm now on a countdown to radiotherapy.  A week on Monday I start, just the thought of it is a mental torture.  I know, physically, it's not going to be anywhere near as bad as chemo, or psychologically as bad as surgery but the daily 'treatment' is going to torture my spirit.  However, I feel strong and ready for it.

Today I ran over 2 miles.....it wasn't long ago that just walking 2 miles was my goal!  To my Mother who will say I'm overdoing it (and is usually right)..... today this is my moto I'm afraid.....



Running is my way to defeat tiredness, it may seem counter intuitive, but believe me, it works.

Adrian and I had a wonderful time in London thanks to the amazing charity, Ellie's Friends.  We stayed in a lovely hotel and went to see QI being filmed which was interesting and Stephen Fry was charming and funny.  We had posh afternoon tea at the Hilton, mooched around covent garden, walked across many parks, cycled around half of Hyde Park and were dumbstruck that a TV could cost £35000 in Harrods!








I had a phone call today...........a neurology appointment.....at last!  It's only taken five months!  Friday the 13th June ......luckily I'm not superstitious!

  1. What a fabulous weekend, sunny too :-). Did you eat all those cakes yourself?
    You look really well no doubt helped by the running and I can fully believe that it gives you energy, lovely endorphins and all that.
    Have a great week camping, I'm sure you will

    1. Adrian helped a little but, yes, I did eat most of the cakes!! Couldn't fit in the edible plate (on the top tier) so we took it away in a goody bag!
