I hope that this post finds you as well as you can be. I just want to wish you all a happy Christmas wherever and with whoever you are spending it.
I have not posted for a while after being quite unwell and discovering that there is no effective treatment left for me after 4 years. I am determined to not let this latest setback stop me from being and enjoying being me for as long as possible. Today my daughter took me out for a magnificent hot chocolate. It made my day!!!!!
Please keep spoiling yourselves lovely ladies. You deserve it ๐๐ฒโ๏ธ๐

Beautiful smile from a beautiful fighter. You deserve it, too. Family's love and support are potent and powerful. Have a lovely time over Christmas, recharge and then resume the fight. Take care x
Beautiful picture of a lovely lady. Thank you for your Christmas greetings. Enjoy your time out with your family and donโt give up the fight in 2021. Lots of love
Thank you so much Angela. Certainly not giving up or giving in but intending to make the most of every opportunity especially if it involves calories!!!

Thank you Cheryl. That's very kind. I intend to make this Christmas as special as possible with lots of fun and laughter and a few naps in between to keep me going!!! I hope you have a lovely Christmas too ๐ฒโ๏ธ๐ฒ
Hi Sian, Great photo, I can nearly taste that chocolate. There are lots of new treatments coming very soon and hopefully one will have your name on it. Have a fabulous Christmas and a very Happy 2021 with more to come Sue xxx
Thank you Sue. A new treatment would be wonderful but until then I'll be keep myself happy with little trips out indulging in special treats with lots of hot chocolate. Sending you best wishes for a lovely Christmas and a healthy and happy 2012 ๐ฅฐ
What a lovely picture. Like you have not been on so much as going through get another round of chemo and wondering if there is anything else to try. Family is a wonderful tonic. Merry Christmas to all real sisters.
Thank you so much. No unfortunately there is nothing left to try but I intend making the most of my time left by continuing to be me and enjoying the important things ๐
What an absolutely lovely post but even more lovely is your picture. The yummy hot chocolate a bonus! Your spirt and positive attitude helps us all remember to treat ourselves and others well. Merry Christmas to you and your daughter!
Dearest Sian (my โAvastinโ friend!),You deserve it too!
You look fabulous (how can we be so poorly??)....your face, your jumper, your hair, your smile!).
Yes, we must all keep on living happily & living each day to the full.
As others have said, new treatments do keep coming along, we never know how things will pan out; also how amazingly strong our (battered!) bodies are....never mind our strong spirits!
You have a wonderful, supportive family to help you, as well as those pets ๐ฆฎ๐ฑ
Thank you so much lovely Linda. Yes I agree, our bodies and minds are stronger than we think. We can achieve so much more than we would have thought. It would be amazing if a new treatment came along but until then we just must keep making the most of every good day. Sending you lots of love and looking forward to seeing you soon in a socially isolated way. Happy Christmas ๐ฒโ๏ธโ๏ธ
Thank you Sassy. That's so kind. Yes I intend to make the most of any indulgent opportunities!!; I hope you do so too. Happy Christmas ๐ฒโ๏ธโ๏ธ
I have been quietly following you since I was diagnosed. We are similar age - I was 53 at diagnosis and now am 54. You are an inspiration, I know that's no consolation for the truly ******* awful place you are in but thankyou for your unknowing help x
Hi, I was diagnosed SEP 2019 the day after I ran the great North run, I thought it was just ibs. Stage 3c initially inoperable but lucky to get surgery in Feb on my daughter's birthday at same hospital she was born. Big debulking, like all ladies on here - 11 hours and spleen removed. Chemo and Avastin, nearly finished the Avastin but ca125 on rise so scan asap to see what's what. I think when I read your profile I felt I identified with you, similar age, really lovely lovely husband, 2 wonderful adult children- a very blessed life until this ****** came along. Anyway like you trying to enjoy life I still have many many good things in it and compared to many am very lucky. I really hope you have the best Christmas you can in the circumstances and as I say you are an inspiration. Xxx
Hi SIan. I can't believe that such grim news go with such an energetic chic lady... love the sweater; love the smile even more! Hope you have a good Christmas too, and that more treatment options will become available soon. *chocolate envy* xx. Maus
Thank you so much for the lovely message. That is very kind of you. I intend to have a good time this Christmas and hope that you will too. XXX Sian๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
