Happy New Year

First of all thanks for all your beautiful comments on my last blog. I really appreciate your lovely thoughts and of course your love and support.
We had a great time in the city. We were a little bit naughty and stayed in a room that was supposed to only have a maximum of 3 but we managed to make a mattress on the floor for the bigger boys by shuffling around some seat cushions, pillows and a spare blanket. The view was amazing and the hotel very posh!
We had dinner with Jason's parents on the Wednesday night at the hotel and went on a train ride after dinner which was huge excitement for the boys. Isn't it funny how the simplest of things entertain them.
For the fireworks, we were fortunate enough to be invited to a friend of Jason's place who owns an apartment in the "toaster" so right down on Circular Quay looking right at the bridge. So we spent the day people watching from our hotel room and at about 8pm walked down to Peter's place to watch the fireworks. We had originally planned on only staying there for the 9pm fireworks and watching the midnight ones from our hotel room, but the boys were OK and wide awake so we just waited around until midnight and took those in from the prime position also. We were very lucky and they were awesome. You should have seen the look on the kids faces....they were completely mesmerised. Even little Hamish!
It was a great night and while something we will probably never do again, (unless we win lotto!!!!), it was worth every cent to share the experience with the kids. Hopefully they remember it for a long time to come.
On a health note, I think I have caught a stomach bug from Matt. He had been feeling unwell for the past day or so and now it seems its my turn! It wouldn't bother me too much, but when I went to the loo this morning there was a lot of blood. Now I am not a doctor, but I know that's not good. I am guessing it may be another symptom of the disease but I will ask on Monday when I see them for my latest check up. Nothing is simple anymore...I can't even just get a tummy bug!!!

I didn't end up getting my blood test on Wednesday either, so I have to get it tomorrow. Hopefully the result will come through quickly enough for them to be able to start the chemo on Monday.....I am starting to think that the cancer is getting a grip back again, first with the heart thing now with the blood. The chemo should knock it out again though, not to mention all the other methods I have at my disposal!!!

Well, enough for now, I will update after Monday's appointment when I know more about the chemo xxx

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!
