Happy "in between Christmas and New Year!" to all of our wonderful family and friends. No cards were sent this year as we've made a nice donation to "Redkite" who have been a fantastic source of support to our family.
Our Christmas has been quiet, but blessed....this time last year we didn't think there would be four of us for Christmas 2009. BUT....there is!! And Meggie is doing great. She has reached her 6 months remission mark, which has been confirmed even more by a clear CT scan (the results of which we received on 23rd December, along with a HUGE sigh of relief!). Monthly blood tests and 3 monthly CT scans will continue until at least next June, and she'll be declared cancer free after 5 years without relapse. THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN......
Tomorrow is a significant date in our lives. It's one year since Meggie began her second cocktail of chemo which she endured for 5 months. It's also going mark the beginning of the second round of chemo for our lovely friends, Ali, Michelle and their amazing daughter Evie. Our hearts and thoughts are with them and we're praying for a positive outcome. It's also our wedding anniversary....15 years....which is apparently our crystal anniversary.
We wish you a very happy new year. Let's hope that 2010 brings peace, stability, love, calm and health to us all...... Jane xxxx
About Me
- One of the Stanleys
- Meg began her cancer journey the day before her 10th birthday in Feb 08. She had a 5kg germ cell ovarian tumour removed along with her ovary and fallopian tube. She is now battling metastases on her liver (for the second time) and on the lymph nodes in her stomach. She's a beautiful, fiery redhead, with a determination and temperament to match! She amazes us regularly with her strength and courage and we are so very, very proud of her.
