Keep on keeping on

That is what we have to do....

So to that end Ella is back in hospital from lunchtime today, and will be there till next weekend.  This is to have the methotrexate chemotherapy which will complete cycle six!  She will of course have her two Mepact infusions while she is in there this week as well.

Then in theory she will be in hospital again - next week for the start of cycle seven. 

Remember the original plan was to give her six cycles - but now changed to eight or nine - bet that means nine!

Still no news on second arm operation or plans for "lung activity"

    Hope others saw those running for Sarcoma at London Marathon yesterday......would love to say I could run one again but at moment prevented from doing so as legs won't take me on a run that far, but thinking of perhaps another way to help the ongoing research? Thoughts?

    I am hoping to find the inspiration and energy to do something "amazing" when we are finally out of this treatment schedule and well on the way through the next stage - when ever that is

    Three Peaks Challenge ?????

    Up for something for sure - hoping to do a half later this year, but like Jim my legs may prevent me running. 3 peaks or how about a cycle from Windsor to Bristol !! Hope all goes well this week - love to all x

      Now that sounds interesting - Bristol to Windsor; cycling to preserve the knees! I am not a fan of the three peaks challenge as it seems as much about haring up and down motorways in cars as it does about climbing mountains. Let's think about the environment as well as raising money for cancer research as we plan something.

    I'd definitely be up for a Windsor to Bristol cycle. Jo...I do seem to recall that you recently said you were going to get a bike...... could be the incentive...
