Congratulations and Welcome little one.

My niece Rochelle gave birth to a beautiful little girl yesterday afternoon, weighing in at 5lb 14oz. Lacey Mae was born by cesarian section.

Her and her mother are doing well. I went up to see my niece today, didn't see the baby as it was lunch time.

I took my cat to the vets this evening, it appears that he has been scrapping with the neighbourhood cats and has been bitten on his back paw. He is asleep now and has some tablets to take.

I think the radio therapy is starting to take affect, I have been sick tonight and feel very tired. I am going to let Gina take me to hospital tomorrow and Friday, she has been nagging me for days : )

2 more days of radio therapy left, it has been difficult getting up to the hospital eveyday but it will hopefully be worth while. Some people have been going for 6 weeks, 8 weeks, I feel lucky to have 3 weeks. One poor lady is so burnt, it looks really painful. I haven't got any burns yet.

Steph's celebration day is coming together, it will be at the River dart country club. 1pm till 6pm on Friday 4th December. She and Ali camped there and it was a very special place that Steph enjoyed. It seems right that she is celebrated there.

Stephanie Chouette,

Today is a sad day, it is a day I never wanted to arrive but knew it had to at some point.

Steph Chouette passed away peacefully yesterday after an admirable fight against breast cancer.

She was 36 years old, too young to leave her family and all who love her.

Today's blog is dedicated to Steph and all who love her.

From all at Meso and me, we send our heart felt condolences to her family and those close to her, especially Ali and Sam and of course, Sasha, Steph's beautiful dog who was always by her side.

There is a beautiful angel in heaven now, no more pain and suffering, just a void where a beautiful little french girl should be.

Goodbye Steph, it was an absolute honour to have had the privilege to have met you and seen that beautiful smile and wicked humour. You will be missed very much x x x x

Strange and busy time.

It has been a strange day today. I picked my sister up this morning and took her to the hospital as her daughter, my niece, Rochelle is about to have her first baby.

I saw Steph and Ali yesterday and poor Steph is so poorly. Ali is beside herself, I have told her I am here for her if need be.

I had my radio therapy today and saw Dr D, he examined my lymph in the right groin and said he didn't think I needed the biopsy after all as he could't find anything.

Obviously the German Dr was wrong and I have no need to go to Berlin for treatment.

I got rid of the rest of the card board boxes and polystyrene at the recycling centre.

I don't know what the weekend holds but I am ready to help out in what ever situation occurs. I think of Ali and Steph every day.

Kieran has had a wonderful week at school. He is in a different class now and seems a lot happier. Only problem I have is that the head mistress seems to credit herself with the success. Wrong Mrs!!! you were failing him!

He made a lovely bandana for children in need and was very pleased to have won the play station challenge.

It is so good to see the happy Kieran back. He is with his dad tonight.

Very busy today

Mystery pants????
Kieran and I waiting for Siobhan's train to come in from London.

I had my radio therapy treatment today, I went on my own as Gina wasn't feeling well. all went well, not a lot can happen with a great big machine grinning at you.

I came home and waited for some furniture to be delivered. I had a nap before Kieran came home from school and said he had a good day. The boy is still goading him in the dinner line but the teachers seem to have it under control. He seems fixated with Kieran.

We went out to see Ali and Steph, Steph is so poorly, Ali needed some shopping. Kieran played on a computer game with Ali's son while I got the shopping. I had a coffee and a chat with Ali and then went to the station to meet Siobhan.

We brought her and her boyfriend home and settled down for the night. More radio therapy tomorrow. I am feeling a little tired and nausea's which goes with the treatment I suppose.

While sorting throught the washing, I found some mystery pants. I don't know who they belong to??? I have asked my ex, they are not his..... strange, not sure if the last occupant of the house left them here. They are clean as I have washed them, How strange! Somehow I don't think I will be keeping them.

Side affects are on their way!!!

I got rid of some card board boxes today before going to hospital for another bout of radio therapy.

I went for lunch after at my friend, Carolyn's to celebrate Julie's, another friends, birthday. Gina took me to hospital and came to lunch as well.

I felt so tired and by the time I got home I had been sick and flaked out on the sofa. Kieran's dad came over to see him.

I have more rubbish to get rid of tomorrow and another blast of radio therapy. I have some furniture being delivered in the afternoon. i am going to try and rest when I get home before Kieran gets back from school.

Siobhan will be back tomorrow as she has been away to London with her college friends.

It is so quiet with just Kieran and I.

The kittens will be happy on Friday, they have been shut in since we got here and are hoping that when they go out, they will find their way home. We have a large field beside the house and hope that this keeps Cookie occupied, Stork is a little less adventurous and will stay close to home.

Radio therapy week again.

The weekend has been busy, Kieran didn't go to school on Friday, he went to his dad's over night on Saturday. Siobhan was getting ready to travel to London today with her college pals.

She will be back on Wednesday.

I took Kieran to school this morning as I wanted to speak to the head mistress about all that had been happening.

He started in a new class today and came home this afternoon saying it went well and he enjoyed it. He said the boy who had been terrorising was insistant he gets into the right class, he has more problems than Kieran and doesn't understand why he has moved class. His focus has been removed so hopefully he will now leave Kieran alone.

I then went to Radio therapy, I went on my own and was ok. after that I went into town to get some furniture for the lounge and a sofa bed for the conservatory.

James the magnificent arrived around 4:30pm to fix up the oven and dishwasher. Just got to sort out the tumble dryer and sort out the rest of the boxes and we will be settled in our new home.

It is so strange to pass the street we did live in and not park up. I hope the young couple love it as much as we did.

Radio therapy again tomorrow, this will be every day till Friday and next week the same. My GP has given me another 3 weeks off work. I will see what happens with the lymph, dependant on that is when I return to work.

Great night out.

Debbie S and I last night

I went out last night with my friend Chrissie. I was feeling quite tired and said I would come out to eat but would go home early as I felt tired, Well....little did I know what Chrissie had done!

We had our meal and were chatting when she said the taxis are here, We all went outside to be greeted with a large pink limo with a dancing pole in the middle of it!

She had decided that all her friends needed a treat and booked it, it was great, I got home at 2:00am, so much for being tired!!

I met up with Debbie who also has Mesothelioma, she was looking really well and we caught up on our hospital tales.

Today was a quiet day, Kieran was with his dad, Siobhan and I went out to get a few bits for the house and went for some lunch.

I am taking Kieran to school tomorrow as Thursday he arrived home in tears after being told he does not deserve Chrstmas and hurts his cats by the same boy who has been terrorising him since the beginning of September.

I also have radio therapy and a Dr's appointment to get another sick note. Some days it is just impossible to rest!
