Marmite, I’m so sorry you’re going through such an awful time. Glad you’re home from hospital and hope you continue to regain strength and that the new chemo combo is easier to tolerate and works for you. Will be thinking of you and hoping you’ll be well enough for the next Bristol meet, it would be lovely to see you
Take care
Lesley xx
Really sorry to hear your news, Marmite. I hope you tolerate the new chemo combo ok and that it holds things. It must seem so much harder when you are already feeling weak after your hospital stay. Moaning is entirely understandable!!
Missing out on Tenerife must be a tremendous disappointment. I know how much these trips/treats keep us all going mentally. Could you plan something indulgent in the UK? Wouldn’t be the same as Tenerife and the spring sunshine, but might help a little.
Take care, Marmite - fingers crossed for an improvement on the new chemo.

Same here Marmite. Good luck with the treatment. I hope I can keep going like so many of you have with one treatment after another. I feel very guilty moaning about my situation when I am just having my first treatment since my diagnosis.
I will have my baseline scan in April and then it is a case of watch and wait to see what happens. I hope I can try and forget about it and get on with things or do you feel like a loaded bomb just waitig to go off again? I suppose I will just get on with it - there is nothing else we can do.
I am hopeful that there may be some new drugs around the corner that will do the trick - people keep saying to me why do these things happen to all the nice people? Well I wouldn’t wish this on anyone but…sometimes you do wonder!!!
Love to all you lovely girls I wish we were all just around the corner so we could help each other out.
Love Sue xx
Just to let you guys know - that Ian - Debs husband - has passed on the great news that ‘little bean’ was born yesterday 7lbs 4oz. I can hear some dancing in heaven - heavy noise those Jan Jansens make.
Debs will definitely be raising a glass or two of red to her little bean - please pass congrats on to Ian when you speak next xx
Congratulations to Deb’s family.
Welcome to the world Little Bean. 
I’m sure you will hear some wonderful stories of your wonderful Grandma when you are a little older. Hope Little Bean’s Mummy is recovering well.xx
How lovely. Thanks for posting that. I can hear the tapping of the shoes as we speak!!!

Whatlovely news. Feel too emotional to say much else. Lesley xx
Welcome Little Bean! Like Lesley, feel very emotional about this - so wish Debs had been here to welcome you into the world. K
Thanks for letting us know about Little Bean, Celeste. I think we have all been wondering and thinking of Debs at this time. A very happy occasion but tinged with sadness. I often think how Ian and Deb’s girls are coping, I hope the new arrival helps them.
