Hello my friends. This is just a quick post to let you know that I am now in Southampton Hospital and have had my first lot of chemotherapy. This is debulking chemotherapy, separate from the conditioning chemo which will happen just before the transplant.

It's going to be a long haul but I know I'm in good hands.

Just really missing my husband!

Love to you all, Jennie

Best wishes. I have been listening to my favourite old books free on Open Library. They have been a comfort when I don’t feel up to reading.

Hello Jennie, Good to hear from you.

Thank heavens for mobile phones etc . At least you can keep in touch with everyone.

Hope transplant goes well

Hi, I think you will wake up one morning before too long and say "damn, I'm glad that is all over" then get back to your life. One prayer for you done, more to come. Good luck and best to you always.
