All that wishful thinking. Hmm.. Round two has turned nasty as anticipated by the doctor. The weekend was ghastly and for one as accustomed to being as rudely robust as I, it is hard to accept and tolerate being completely without energy.
The very lucky thing is that the DTIC has not affected my sense of taste, so food (albeit in smaller quantities) remains a delight. Losing the odd kg is not an undesired side effect, but to quote Linda, "I can't recommend the diet."
It's difficult to distinguish between the chemo induced symptoms and those which may be due to the arch enemy. Let's hope they all stop soon.
Hi Margs,
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking and praying for you to get through this tough time. You just need to take each day at a time and with your loving family and your strong faith, you can make it.
Had a look at Nic's photos on facebook and there are some brilliant ones - it sounds as if it truly was a special holiday.
I will try and phone in a few days once you are feeling a bit stronger.
We are all thinking of you and tonight the family are all over at Chris and Nikki's for a BBQ so we will raise a glass to you.
Lots of love

Hello My Margs,
ReplyDeleteI am trying out this bloggy thing and will be so excited if this message gets through. Thank you for your updates keeping us in touch with your treatment and your thoughts and news. How life has been turned upside down, just when we thought all was okay, sitting at Bryanston shopping centre having our cappachinos!!
We think of you non stop!! Why do we live so bloody far away!
I just also wanted to mention that the girls LOVED their pearl jewellery presents you gave them and Georgie only got back from uni last week so she was thrilled with the silver bracelet, she tried to phone but will write soon. V V good choice!! Plain and simple just what she loves!!
We are here for most of the summer hols other than a week in lovely France as we feel we had such a long lovely holiday in Easter with you all. Will bloggy again, my sweet. I can imagine how tough it is but you have been blessed with a happy strong spirit that will cope! Love to you and all family. So pleased they are involved with the school!!

Dear Margi
ReplyDeleteI have been nagging John to get your blog site so that I could send you a message. What a clever idea!
We were very sad to hear that you are not well again. In the same breath, I was thrilled to hear that you were hitting Mauritius with your crew. We were at the other Club Med at the same time. Wasn't the weather gorgeous! It looks like you had as good a time as we did. I have not seen Ali or Nicola for years - I met James when Tim brought him to talk to John. You have produced beautiful children!!
I wanted to tell you that you are one of the people who persuaded me to have a third. You said that it produces happy chaos and that it has, but what a special gift he has been.
I'm sorry that you had such a rotten weekend and I hope that you are feeling a little better.
Please know that we are thinking of you, Tim and the family lots.
Lots and lots of love
Mandy, John, Rachel, Sarah and Michael xxxxxxx
