The Hair Got shorter

After a long morning at the hospital today I finally am one step closer to starting treatment.
I will have my pick line put in on the 7th june and then chemo will start a couple of days after. The consultant was so nice and explained the procedure in great detail so now I am fully aware of all that is to come.

I have had to make a really tough decision today if I am to carry on with work or Go on sick leave after half term. The Chemo effects people in different ways, and I may be fine during treatment, but after talking with a wonderful Macmillan nurse today, it has made me more aware that I need to put my body first at this time. I have to be realistic now and understand I will need rest and time for my body to cope with the strong drugs that are going to be pumped into me.
It is hard to give up as I love to be busy and enjoy work so much.
This is where my faith really needs to be strong, I am totally relaying on God now to provide more work when I am better and that he will carry us through a time of financial strain. I have no doubt in my mind that God will provide, thank goodness he never leaves us.

So the hair has got shorter, going from long hair to short is very strange I don't think I have ever had short hair.
I'll leave you with done pictures and will post again very soon x

What's in you!?

Life for most of us  is a race to always moving on to the next thing on the to do list. I love a list and my family will find post it notes dotted around to make sure the day to day keeps ticking over. Sometimes tho you just need to stop and take time out. I love to have those salah moments. A time to stop, pause, and breathe. They do not happen as much as   I like but when they do, it's important to use the time wisely. I'm very good at sleeping! I can quite often sneak away and have a power nap, sometimes I need to be just still and think and listion than to full asleep! Within us all we have a inner soul. This will define who we are inside and out. If our thoughts are not pure then what comes out of our hearts will be hard and unkind. Having souls that feed our hearts and minds with compassion, love and a servant hearted outlook will make our life's much more attracted for others to rely and trust in us.  Take a salah moment when you can to examine the inner you. ...

29th December 2023 Life Update

Hi their, well yesterday I stumble across my blog that I had totally forgot about, so I thought I would leave a little new blog post.  Life has been storming ahead, celebrating that I am over 11 years clear from cancer and embracing all that life throws at me, good or bad, easy or hard.  Life is a journey and we all have those obstacles to navigate. You know that for me I have Faith in God and so thankful that I don't need to carry the burden, I can give it all to him.  My Life has changed over the years, but the foundations still remain the same, faith, prayer, worship, family, and friends, but now experiencing a whole new level of work, projects and opportunities. I have found a world outside of my own little life that I never knew existed, and have had the privilege to make good friendships that have gone beyond my imagination. I have steeped out far from my comfort zone on public speaking and now share my life and faith in ways that I never knew I would. Learnt new sk...

Bed rest

Oh dear I'm on bed rest until I get my strength back again ;( . since coming out of hospital on Saturday I have not recovered as quickly as before. I need to watch my day 4-6 after chemo as that's when my body is at it's lowest. This is really hard as Matt is working all the time and kids have to be pushed from pillar to post. Thank goodness nanny and grandad were on on standby last night again. All the parents have been so great at helping out. I am just going to have to take this one day at at a time. I just feel gutted that I cannot spend time with the kids in there holiday. I miss family days out and easy things of just going for walks. When this is all over I think a good holiday is going to be welcome. I love my husband so much he is trying so hard to keep things going, working extra hours to make up my wage and juggling house work. I am so blessed by him. I had a good cry yesterday and let out all the emotion, the stress had been building up. I now feel much b...
