It’s the waiting that gets to you. Having tests then waiting weeks to know where you stand, if its good news or bad news, if the treatment stays the same. Had my PET scan and was given the news that I would be taking the tablet Letrozole every day and then starting later with PalbociclibContinue reading “Results but no more news”

I don’t think I have ever done this much EVER!   The body is a little bit in shock, it doesn’t know when its going to end and I haven’t yet received those endorphin’s that give you that “runners high” This week I booked off as holiday – originally to go to France – butContinue reading “What’s with all this exercise?”

With just 9 weeks to go before Virgin London Marathon 2018 begins on April 22nd I have been upping the training.  Although trying to resemble Jane Torville when walking the dogs and falling on ice didn’t help things mid-week. Still I managed to get the miles on the cross-trainer which didn’t put pressure on myContinue reading “Its all getting so real…..”
