We were all home today and had a quiet day, once we had gone to St Bernard's Catholic Primary School for an interview for Jessica to start Kindergarten next year. The principal confirmed Jessica would get an invitation to attend, so it was a good morning and I didn't cough! Home for an early lunch and we all had a nana-nap. I saw the GP team this afternoon, and had my throat checked out. After a long conversation with my friend Jan last night I decided to keep pushing the issue. However by this afternoon, the coughing had really turned a corner - and I'm feeling tops. Definately one of the plethera of drugs has kicked in and is doing something. The GP team suggested giving it another 6 days for the drugs to take maximum effect, and then see how I feel.
I had a really good nana-nap - you know the kind when you wake up and think you've slept for 24 hrs!
And thankfully the slower day today has recharged all our batteries. Kids and hubby off to respective "day care" facilities tomorrow and I'm looking to get into my "lymphoma-slayer" art classes. LIFE IS GREAT!
Special thanks to
- my family for all turning up yesterday - my toughest day yet - I appreciated it!
- everyone who has been praying for me! Thank you for sharing your prayers.
- the Slayer's Aid who is sending affirmations to me daily!
- everyone who in your own ways' are supporting me, and keeping me "real" and "positive"
- everyone who has shared a little or alot of advice on all sorts of things, it all helps.

I finally caught up on the last few days. Shame about the asthma, but it may be situational, and go away after chemo is finished. If not, I've been living with it well controlled for 30 years now!
I cracked up about the pelvic floor. Same here, until I got put on a bladder control medication (Versicare) My excuse is being 70 and fat! Side effect is dry mouth. Rather have that than leaky you know what.
Anyway, keep the chin and other things up!
Love, Gail
Seems like lots of ups and downs Michelle, thinking of you as you go through this difficult time. You've been an inspiration in getting my pelvic floor exercises back on track. That and in an aerobics session last week the instructor seemed to have an obsession with star jumps. I love the photos from Xavier's Birthday, you look great. Sophie xx
Great to hear the cough has subsided xx
