We are coming home !

 Hi Family and Friends, well we have been given a weeks grace in between diagnostic appointments and Gail's Treatment which is now scheduled to start 2nd April.     Yes there has been a bit of a delay and we were feeling a bit low about it having to have another endoscopy which is now going to be tomorrow (Thursday 20th March) and not being able to get a PET Scan until 28th March which took us beyond the initial treatment date which would have been due to start next week.  If the dates are buzzing around in your heads, we completely understand, trying to keep track of what day it is when in this process, is hard work in it-self.

Gail did some work on trusting the Universe and it has paid up, in that, the PET Scan has now been brought forward to Saturday 22nd and we can both come home later that day and not have to return until Monday 31st March.  This is the exact gap in our accommodation which we were going to cover with me coming home  alone with the dogs for a couple of days and Gail staying with her mom.  We are delighted to be coming home together and having, what will feel like, some normality.  

We dont plan to be rushing around or seeing everyone as it just feels we need some solid home time and maybe a bit of beach time too.  I will be wanting to have a couple of sea swims as the ponds up North are not at all tempting and I miss that crazy cold water time with equally crazy people, who I admire totally.  

We do miss you all and most importantly we have felt everyone's love and support and as much as we would want to hug every single wonderful person in our lives, we cant do it at the moment, but please do feel our gratitude and love coming through to you in the Ether.

We know that we will be coming back to it all but it should then be for the long awaited treatment.  And Christies is a lovely place to be in the circumstances, we do feel very well cared for here.  Having family around is also a blessing and a great support to us both.    

Olga and Gail xxxxxx

 Hi all our dearest, we hope this finds you well and enjoying the exceptional sunny days we are having!  Gail had her 3rd Chemo Wednesday7th May and it went well, supported by our amazing girls Ang and Emma, who have committed to come up from Portishead every 2 weeks to support.   Gail was more tired this time and today (Sunday) has not been the best day with tummy grips and tiredness, which we expect but its not nice as many of you beautiful people know from personal experience.  My heart goes out to her and to everyone ever having to have chemo, its necessary and we are embracing it, but its pretty shitty too!  We have an end game and so Gail is going to tolerate it with all her might and with everyone around us, its so much easier.   What's great is she has managed to get to 3 Man City Matches with her bro over the last few weeks.   I had a week at home last week, knowing Gail was in good hands staying with her mom and needing to have...

Hello lovely family and friends, we have found a new way to give updates on our situation by providing a blog  with a link to you all through what's app so that you can choose whether to read or not. We are currently in a lovely holiday rental,  Goyt Cottage in Marple Bridge and feel very much at home.  We can walk to the little high street which has some lovely food shops, cafe's and pubs and the wonderful Brabyns Park,  just 5 minutes away where the doggies are enjoying running around and playing.  Given we are so far away from home, this location and home does make it feel easy and we are settling. We are busy trying to find a furnished rental in this area as its close to the hospital and in a place that we like, but its not easy.  I am just pursing a potential let for 6 months although would hope they would let us rent for 3 months initially and another 3 if we need it. The treatment plan is for Chemo, 2 weekly with 4 hours infusion at the hospital and ...
