Happy Christmas!

Thanks for your encouraging messages, it is so good to know that I don't have to have more chemotherapy! I am still recovering from the last round, but looking forward to having a decent break from it all over Christmas.

I got a letter in the post telling me I am booked to have a CT Scan on Jan 5th 2009 at Frenchay Hosptial, so that will indicate what's next for me in terms of treatment. I will of course keep you updated in the New Year on how things progress and what the CT scan shows.

I just wanted to wish you all a very very Happy Christmas and thank you once again for all your wonderful support and prayers, it has been incredible.
Love, Mari
