Sharon back on duty tonight at last after quite a frightening few days :(

Thankfully I don't remember that much of what went on but I am so sorry for everyone else who had to go through it. It's been so amazing to have so much support and we're so thankful that Ashley & Nicky were with us on Thursday night. The hospital staff in Swindon were fantastic and the staff at the Cromwell in London were on the phone to Dave in the evenings, weekend and anytime we needed them. Thank You so much to Ashley, Nicky, Marilyn, Andrea and especially Dave who has been a huge support and hasn't left my side since then :)

I'm feeling much better now but it has knocked my confidence a little and, although I am on two types of medication now, I still wonder if it will happen again. They are planning to reduce the steroids a lot more slowly this time to make sure the swelling has gone down.

The chemotherapy went well yesterday and I haven't had an side effects so far, which is really good news. They say it may hit in the first few days or about 7 days later but it shouldn't be as severe as the last chemo I went through.

Thank you SO much to everyone who has been sending blog messages, texts, emails, calling and praying for us....we are so encouraged by all your love and support and apologies that we haven't got to reply to everyone yet.

Thank you SO much to Munster Christian Camps who sent a fabulous fruit hamper today - it was SO thoughtful of you and we truly appreciate all your prayers :)
