just to let you all know. My interview with U.T.V. will be shown after 6pm this wed. night. The four finalists are being shown on 4 consecutive nights, They have changed the voting system this year and instead of going to public vote, a panel will decide on the overall winner who will represent N.ireland in the award ceremony in London in october. No matter what getting to the last 4 is pretty amazing and my interview will be a great platform for raising profile of ovarian cancer. Either way I am a winner!!! Will keep you all posted. have 3rd. chemo session next monday . Have been so nauseus and sick with this bout of chemo. This is the worst . Was never this bad with the other 3 sets of treatment.

Thinking of you, Una. I hope that all those horrible side effects are going to work in keeping the beast at bay for a good time yet. Take care , you're doing such a great job with awareness-raising.

Anyone know..... Can I watch Ulster TV on Sky?

Hey Una, Angie and I watched and really want you to win. You deserve the accolade for all the effort you have invested in both raising funds and awareness. Remember this though, even if you don't win the nomination to the finals you are still a hero to many of us here.

Best of luck for tomorrow.

Andy and Angie x
