Ups and Downs



Liz and her friend Barbara attended a "Looking Good, Feel Better" workshop a couple of weeks ago.  Liz got her makeup done and had a fun day out.  Thought I would post the photo as I think Liz looks lovely with her makeup done!

Liz had to spend 24 hours in hospital this week as she was unable to hold down food or water.  She is back home again and hoping to continue improving.

So the down side is that chemo couldn't start because she was too sick.  It's now scheduled to start in a couple of weeks.

The up side is that the radiation seems to have done some good.  The tumours in her throat and lungs have shrunk.  This is very positive news and shows that even though the treatment is taking its toll, it is also working its magic on the cancer!

There have been so many wonderful people who have been helping out.  So many who come over and help out around the house and garden, help with the children and make sure that Liz is comfortable and doesn't have to tire herself out too much.  What wonderful wonderful people you all are!

Peace and happiness
