Hi All!

Brilliant news! Just have to share!

I went to meet my new GP today and he gave me the results of the blood test that I had done last week. My CA125 is 6, (anything up to 30 is 'normal') my diabetes is well under control and I have had my original statin restored to get better control over my cholesterol. He advises me to go on pushing myself a little physically too! Aparently it takes more than a year to recover from major surgery, hence the tiredness, but I am advised to try a bit more cycling and walking a bit further.

I am now not expecting any unpleasant surprises on Thursday. Theatre again tonight!

How wonderful! So good to share in your celebrations. There was a Macmillan research project recently which said that exercise moderately helped recovery and to prevent recurrences. So get walking! If you want something new, supportive, gentle and totally absorbing to try ... google tai chi classes in your area. I absolutely love tai chi and, although it is infuriating as it takes a long time to get the moves right, It impacts on bone density and general health from the outset. Good fun too with lovely people seem to participate , a certain type! Good luck, and enjoy your celebrations!

Love Wendy xx

I used to do tai chi at bannatynes, even have the special shoes, but they cancelled the class then I became ill! Must look for another class!

Great! It depends where you live, and what form you did. I do taoist tai chi, as prescribed by Master Moy! If you google taoist tai chi society uk, you may find a class. There's a "find a class" option.

I just love it, it takes up so much of my mind, I don't have time to think of anything else at all. Very relaxing :-)

Good Luck with your exercise regime

Love Wendy xx

Walking was mine but I am worried about other people having to get me back if I cannot manage the full 6 - 8 miles. Still I am planning to do more walking into town and back!

I'm so pleased for you. Did you enjoy the theatre? What did you see? I went to lots of things last year and each time it gave me a real boost.

Be careful on your bike!
