Apologies I didn't get to update the blog last night but I was extremely tired and couldn't stay awake past 8pm :( The ultrasound went really well and they confirmed that the tumour has shrunk to half the original size, which is amazing news!! They also inserted a metal coil into the middle of the tumour to mark where it is when it comes to surgery, in case it shrinks even more in the meanwhile! Thank you so much to Andrea who came to London with me.
The after effects of the chemotherpy have been really mild so far and even with less anti-sickness tablets I haven't felt sick at all. I have been really tired though and have had a lot of flu like pains today - I had been told to expect joint pains 3 to 4 days after treatment.
It's been amazing to see family from home today, Tommy came this afternoon with a van load of my stuff from Cork and Andrew and Orla arrived this evening to help us with the move. Tomorrow we'll be moving our things from Bicester to Swindon - although Dave is insisting that I disappear for the day and leave the men do all the moving!

Hope the move goes smoothly and that yourself and Orla get to spend some girly time together. I hope the aches and pains dissipate soon and that you can enjoy your new surroundings.
