Thanks so much to everyone who has left lovely messages, texts etc re tomorrow...I am feeling ok - and had a fabulous reflexology today, made even better when I took out my chequebook and (Saint) Tony said, Happy birthday from Jo and Patrick!!! Thanks guys - it was really, really naughty of you and amazing Jo that you managed to track down Tony like that....and thanks Tony for adding another session next week. It is really kind of you and much appreciated. Reflexology is the only thing I get out of bed for!
After this one I should be half way through chemo and on Oct 2nd I have a review to see what's going on in there and what will happen next - ie how many more chemos, whether the tumour has shrunk (I think it has) and by how much, and whether or what kind of hormone therapy might be relevant. I am looking forward to this as it will give me a few more goal posts in what is currently a bit of a wide open football field...
Sorry I have not been out and about much (PA meetings, playground, dinners, pub etc) - all this will change - and I am thinking about everyone who has sent me messages and cards - I really believe that all the positive energy and prayers people are saying for me is life affirming and will work. (Not to mention the dinners - yippee - the Cancer Caterers are on their way!)
My marvellous mum arrives tomorrow for a few days and hopefully she, Benedicte and Francois will crack open a bottle of wine and have a quiet Mary-free evening before I come back to make their lives a misery. This is the first time the children have been here afterwards so I have warned them about what to expect. Emily said, 'Oh yes, like when you had that throat infection and made us phone Pizza Hut for our dinner,' 'Yes,' I replied. 'Like that, only without the pizza.' We're counting on you Catherine!!!
I also want to thank everyone who is giving Luc and Emily a social life at the moment - they seem barely to be at home and they are loving it. Emily absolutely ADORES her new school and was chosen to be class rep today which she is thrilled about. This slightly overshadows Luc who is nevertheless really enjoying year 2 and leaves happily every morning to boss Benedicte about all the way to Highbury. I wish he could behave a bit more like a French child but have resigned myself to the fact that this is impossible.
Anyway - I will blog again next week with another post and in the meantime am busy planning a huge party for my 45th birthday in 2008 which is filling up all the empty bits of my brain. Am thinking that the venue will have to be the size of a small country to invite everyone who has been so kind, supportive and brilliant during these tough times. All suggestions welcome!
A bientot.
