Doing well.

Thanks for your messages.
Mari is doing pretty well post chemo, so we just wanted to let you know.
She is going back in to hospital on Monday and Tuesday of next week for injections which hopefully will boost her white blood cells allowing her to have chemo ( round 11) the following Thursday. We will keep you updated.
With Love.

I can't believe you are on round 10aready - you have endured so much aready. I am continuing to pray for your white blood cells to increase so that the chemo can go ahead and be over and done with asap, preferably (Lord!) by Christmas! Sending you huge love, Lisa XX

Hi Mari,

I am happy to hear you are doing well. Managing to get some rest i hope. I hope this week goes well, with good injections and treatment. I am praying for your veins my friend! Strange statement...

Hi mari and everyone

Pleased to hear that you are doing well. I trust and pray that the remaining rounds of chemo will go well with minimal side effects and will, with the help of the Spirit, get the job done! May there be times of fun mixed in with all the difficult things. xxx

Really glad to hear things are better this week Mari. I'm learning in a tangible way what "my grace is sufficient" means. I'm sure you are are too and it is only through these experiences that we really understand the mystery of it. I pray you are sustained and encouraged by God's presence in the good and bad times. Lots of love, Kate

Hi Mari, Dave, Rhi and Phil

You are amazing to keep us updated so well. I think it must be so hard to write at times. I am so pleased that the chemo has been a little easier on Mari this time.

I always get this sense of you all just coming up for air and then another round begins so I hope the weekend gives you a little respite and will be thinking of you on Monday and Tuesday as you go back in for injections.

Will e mail more fully over the weekend but thank you so much for your letter for Ella from France Rhi she was over the moon to get it.

Much love to you all

Hullo Mari,
Oh it sometimes seems fitting that each 'round' sounds like something out of a boxing match. Trooper you are. Much love, and prayers for good good things.

Hi Mari,
I am back from my pilgrimage in Spain with no blisters! Had a great time.
I went in a couple of churches and lit candles for you. Bizarre - you put money in a box and the candles light electronically! the more money you put in, the more candles light up!
You're doing well Mari, well done.
Love from both of us,
Andy and Gill
