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
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
