We've all relished the much needed break from the 3 week grind. The fourth week enabled me to enjoy my family, catch up with some friends, build stamina with big walks, spend time on the huge project to get our Salvazione grade 7 kids into high schools and participate, with much delight, and pride, at the KPMG Africa Conference at Sun City.
We went to the prize giving for the SACEE writing competition and Ali read his piece well. he came second in the Senior Prose section, much to our great delight. James' hard work during his vac paid off. Nic has had bad luck with her job and is waiting (impatiently) to hear the outcome of another interview. That nasty double dip is hitting hard all round.
Round 6 started today. My white blood cell count is normal again. This is very good news. Dr Mafafo could not find any outward sign of deterioration.
The side effects are hitting fast, so I know how the next week to 10 days will be.
The refreshing breaks are healing and empowering.
Margs, it was heaven on a stick chatting to you last night. It felt like you were just next door and that we had been in close contact all these years. So chuffed to be back on the radar screen after all these years. Dee and I had a complete jol in London. It was rude of her to leave after 24 hours. However, I can't complain: she and my god daughter booked airline, non-refundable tickets to Oz to celebrate my 50th with me and I will be in London...
ReplyDeleteHang in there Margs and pop over to London for a laugh between treatments.
Sorry I didn't get to speak to you again at the Partners' Conference - I meant to!!!!! I wanted to tell you how amazing you look. I admire you for going to all of the sessions when you are not feeling well.
ReplyDeleteI know that you started your next round of chemo this week. I hope that the effects are not too severe. I know that Tim is terrific, but if you ever need any lifts or if you need me to run any errands, please let me know. My cell is 083 297 1195 - I am always buzzing around in my car so it would be no problem at all.
Lots of love

Please congratulate Ali for me. Lots of love to you all.
