London Marathon

[SCWI]

Good evening ladies and hope you are all having as good a weekend as possible.

I just wanted to tell you all that I am thrilled that my doctor daughter, Izzy has been given a place to run the London Marathon in aid of Ovacome in April this year and is training hard.

When we are all there cheering her on I will be thinking of all you lovely ladies on the forum who have made me feel less alone with your kindness, all of the Ovacome team who have helped and supported me, and and also the teal sisters who are no longer with us.

Love to everyone.

[Lindaura]

That is truly wonderful.

You have fabulous children.

Meanwhile, how are you doing now? Carbo/Caelyx must have finished in August?

Did you get into a PARP inhibitor?

Here’s hoping you are well.

Kind regards,

Laura

Hi Laura

Thanks so much for your kind words.

Yes I finished Carbo Caelyx in September and have been on Olaparib for 2.5 months now and once the initial teething troubles were over I appear to be feeling pretty well and doing fine touch wood.

Love Sophia x

You must be so proud. You must let us know her number and we can cheer her on.

Thanks Helen,

Yes I shall try and find that out and get her an Ovacome running vest too. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ Xx

[Rachael47]

Will you be putting up a link to her sponsorship page?

[SCWI]

Dear Rachael,

thought about it, but I don’t want to ask people on this site. I feel we are the ones she wants to help and you have all done that for me so much by sharing and supporting 😊 for the last three years. Happily she is doing pretty well on the fundraising already. Thanks for the kind thought though. I will post a photo on the day. Xx

[Luchie]

Please say thank you to your daughter. What a lovely thing to do, you must be so proud. Will be thinking of her on the day. Xxx

[SCWI in reply to Luchie]

Thanks Luchie

I have already told her that you are all routing for her. She is so excited and a bit scared! Hope you are doing well. 🤗

[Iwillbeatit]

How lovely to do that for you and all of us tell her thank you and go girl.

[SCWI in reply to Iwillbeatit]

I hope you are doing well 🤗

[Bettyxxx]

Well done to her xx i teally admire people who dona marathon, wish her good lick xx

[SCWI in reply to Bettyxxx]

Thank you Betty. I admire it too, especially as I can’t get my head round running myself. It’s 🧘‍♀️ yoga for me. Xx

[mrstadpole]

That is lovely news.Before I was diagnosed my youngest son ran the London marathon for the charity that supports my eldest son.It was a lovely day and we were thrilled to stay in London over the weekend so we could be part of it.All the very best to your daughter xx

[SCWI in reply to mrstadpole]

Thanks so much mrstadpole. Yes I can’t wait to be there cheering her on. That was lovely that your youngest soon supported your elder son’s charity. I’m glad you all had a lovely day. Xx

[delia2]

That’s amazing — thank her for us all!

[SCWI in reply to delia2]

Thanks so much Delia, I certainly will.

[JulieP1986]

A proud Mom moment. What a wonderful supportive daughter. We will all be cheering her on. Hope you will all enjoy the day. x

[SCWI]

Thank you Julie. We are hoping she will make it ok, it doesn’t matter how long it takes! Xx

[Solange]

What a super Daughter to do this. She'll be dedicating sooo much of her time, training for the Marathon. It's really appreciated. If she changes her mind about us all sponsoring her, do let us know how to do it. After all, this is the Ovacome group - the Charity for whom she'll be running.

Sending love and thanks to you both, Solange xx😊

[SCWI in reply to Solange]

Thank you Solange; that is very kind of you. I hope you are doing alright: 🤗

[Solange in reply to SCWI]

Waiting for the result of latest scan. Just don't know what to expect but keeping my fingers crossed 🤞. Xx

[SCWI in reply to Solange]

Good luck with those results Solange, you have done so well, my fingers are crossed for you. I’m due to have a scan soon too.😳xx

[Neona]

Brilliant!

[SCWI in reply to Neona]

Thank you Neona x

[Katiebairdie]

Please thank your daughter for all the effort she must be putting into her training and her choosing Ovacome.I’ll be looking out for the Ovacome vest.

[SCWI]

Thanks Katie, I must get that ordered, think I will get one for myself too, although I’m not big on running 🏃‍♀️ 😏. Choosing Ovacome was a no brainer😊

[gmc920]

Huge thanks to your daughter! This level of support and dedication shows that she must be a wonderful doctor (and all-around great person 😊)

xx Gina

[SCWI in reply to gmc920]

Thank you Gina

Yes I think she is, especially as she has to get her training in at the end of her working day in the dark at this time of year. Mind you she can be quite bossy! She is in charge of a cardio ward this weekend, quite scary for a junior doc.

[Rlenesue]

That is so great, Sophie! A true testament to izzy's love for you. You are never alone with this dreadful disease.

[SCWI]

Thank you Rienesue, that is a lovely way of looking at it and is why this site is so great 😀 x

[Lyndy]

Great news! Good luck to her xx

[SCWI]

Thank you Lindy😊 xx

[ShropshireJo]

Hi Sophie. What a lovely thing to do for Ovacome. It’s such a helpful organisation and this forum has brought comfort to me over the past few years. I do hope she doesn’t find the training too arduous after her busy working week. Please add my thanks to the long list when you next speak to her. Love Jo 🌺🌼🌹🌻🌸

[SCWI]

Thanks so much Jo. Yes this is a great forum, everyone is so kind and encouraging and it is good to connect with people who are in the same boat .

I do hope your nasty injury is healing well now and you can restart the Niraparib if you haven’t already.

Love Sophia 🥀👳‍♀️Xx
