Hi Chris,You are a wonderful beautiful person.I am sorry I haven't been in touch recently as lots of things have happened recently.

Jules had more bad news before her op on the 15th Feb. The dreaded stuff had spread to her lymph up near the aeorta so the op was very complicated and long. 

However jules had 5 days in hospital so has been home now for 17 days. She is doing ok although very tired and her spirits are pretty good. She is just focusing on moving to France which we can't wait for.

Hopefully next week we will have the follow up appointment with the consultant to determine what goes on next. 

They have told us that Jules will need chemo but we don't know much more at the moment.

On a personal level I'm still in panic mode,and haven't really come to terms with all this but I'm just hoping and praying that the consultation goes better than well.

Once again Chris thank you for your thoughts. I hope you and your family are well and you are keeping well? I promise to keep in touch this time. P.S. Skipton is a beautiful place,

lots of love Ste xxx

Hi Ste and Jules, here I am again popping up just to ask how are things,both in my thoughts x

Hello Ste and Jules.  Have just belately discovered that I did not respond to a post from you in March - my apologies.  You asked how I was - which was kind of you.  I have not suffered from cancer myself - I came to this website having spent much time caring for family and friends who have had various kind of cancer.  I am frequently amazed how so many people who are suffering a great deal themselves are taking the time to help others. 

How is your planned move to France going?  I hope Jules is doing okay.  You don't have to respond to this post if things are busy but just wanted to say sorry about the delay in replying.  Annie
