Update.

Hya,
Chemo went smoothly yesterday! Thankfully they found a vein quickly and I slept for a large part of the time. The nurse says the chemo seems to go in easier when I sleep - something to do with me being more relaxed and my veins opening up!
So all up, it was quite quick - I can't believe I only have one more chemo to go. At one point, it felt like it would never end but finally the end is in sight - now that is a good feeling!
Thanks for continuing to check up on my progress and for all your care. I do love reading your messages, they always cheer me up!
Love Mari x

Dear Mari,

So glad that everything went smoothly yesterday, and that you're nearly at the end of chemo.
It was very good to see you at Chantmarle last weekend, you looked great. We enjoyed it too, it was fun, especially the table tennis!
Much love from Bridget, Roger and family.

Dear Mari,

WONDERFUL, AWESOME, SUPERB, SUBERLICIOU... never mind, the point is I am overjoyed for you.

Great to hear that things went so smoothly! Pray that the "last" round will be smooth too, if not smoother!

Wow, the end is in sight eh! So great. There is a beginning and end to everything in life. Both good and bad. We love you and continue to pray for your total and complete recovery.

What a story you have to share with others!

Dear Mari

As Livy and I sit here and reminisce about the awesome foursome we remember the slippery slope lesson you gave us. I seem to have forgotten the main elements to the slippery slope. Maybe you can refresh my memory. We think about you often and love you lots. You are the bravest girl in the whole wide world!

Love you loads

KT and Livy

How wonderful to be this close to the end of chemo!!! Yeh!! "Still cheering you on!!" from the Insight team.
We went out fishing over the weekend and caught a big fat nothing!
You can guess who ate all the pies!!
Love to you.
