Today Jon Lawrence, my friend and colleague ran the Great South Run and beat his record time. As Jon would say 'Strong!'
He has raised nearly £3,500 for Leukemia and Lymphoma Research, an amount that EA will match. The man should be very proud of himself!
He even made it to be fund raiser of the month. I am very touched by his commitment and effort to raise much needed funds and many thanks to all those people who sponsored him.
In other news, we all went to a Halloween and Fireworks party on Friday night. The kids loved it and we had a really nice time eating and drinking outside at the country club as it was such a mild night.
End of the half term holidays today. Its been a tough one what with it being treatment week but the good news is only 2 weeks until the final round of chemo.
On Tuesday my consultant took me through the steps thereafter:
I will get a scan on 1st of December to assess how well treatment has gone then starting 10th Jan I will get what's called maintenance treatment every 8 weeks for 2 yrs to keep the cancer in remission. At least that's the theory and in most cases what happens.
So looking forward to Xmas now. Starting to get some aches and pains as usual for this stage but nothing too troublesome yet.
