Aww and I can't come as I've now moved out of the UK. Hope you ladies have a good time. Ruth has been a real anchor when the diagnosis and treatment hit me and I was trying to recover from both. The Young Women's support group meetings at Maggies West London were always a safe haven for me.

Ruth is kind and knowledgeable and I wish her the very best. Thank you Ruth.
