Hi Everyone
We hope you had a lovely Easter, and for those in the midst of school holidays, you are managing to keep the kids entertained!
The great news from Jen is that she has finished her chemo treatment. Her last dose was last Tuesday. She is so happy/relieved/stunned to be finished, and is really looking forward to feeling fit and healthy again.
Before she starts radiotherapy in a couple of weeks, she is taking a few mini-vacations - one with kids, one just her and Will - getting some necessary dental work (after chemo that's a walk in the park) and having minor surgery as a preventative treatment. Radiotherapy is six weeks of daily treatment. This will happen at RPA as it is closer to home. Jen has a great radiotherapist and she feels in good hands for the next and hopefully final stage of her treatment.
Jen has been discussing her return to work plan with Dr Friedlander and the wonderful team at Macquarie, and she is planning to ease back in over the 2nd half of the year, so as to ensure she can maintain a healthy balance.
If you've spoken to Jen recently you've probably noted a more 'back to normal' Jen. She is truly amazing and those of us very close are very relieved that she is feeling much better, both physically and mentally.
I am sure she would love to hear from you, so please drop her a note when you get a moment!
As I said on the blog last week - Easter is a time of great possibility - in Jen's case - we know this to be true!
For those of you who are praying - please keep Jen in your thoughts. I remember when Mum had cancer 18 years ago, and her name was on the prayer list at St Therese Dover Heights for many years. We used to tell her to take her name off the list - she wasn't sick! But she insisted she still needed the prayers - and given she is here to tell the tale - she must have been right.
Love to all
Cathy
