Hi everybody

Just passing on my good news! Having now finished 7 rounds of carboplatin/taxol and 2 surgeries in the last 6 months my oncologist last week told me I am in remission. I am over the moon! My CA125 down to a normal 21 so very happy with that. Off to Italy and the UK in two weeks and will spend 5 weeks travelling with my dear husband and daughter (who is expecting grandchild No. 1) and meeting up with a cousin. Should be wonderful. Still waiting on hair, brow and lashes to all grow back but some small signs that they will. That will be a bonus! I am also having acupuncture to help boost my immune system and feeling positive about that.
My love and prayers to you all.

    Thank you so much! We will be in London for the second week of the games - daughter's fiancee is swimming in the 10km marathon swim so will be very exciting and I am sure London will be magnificent! Then some touring - south, north and Scotland!
