Story

Hi there,

as most of you are probably aware, i was given the devestating blow before christmas that i had breast cancer.  I dont deny that i had a complete meltdown for probably the first two weeks.  All the usual questions were asked was i going to see my kids grow up ect.  Since that week i have put two fingers up to cancer, my boys are not going to call anybody else mummy!!!!!! AND so the fight began, i had a masectomy, followed by chemo (which i have one left) and then 3 weeks of radiotherapy every day! I have had a CAT scan before the chemo started and it was clear, i have to have another one in 4 weeks time so fingers crossed it will be the same! Then if all clear i can have  a reconstuction, so me thinks Jordan one side Kate Moss the other!!!! Please could you spare a few pounds  to sponser me, my aim was £500 but what the hell aiming for £1,000 now.  I am really struggling with tiredness so come on i need lots of incentive to keep going.  I am doing the race for life with my two rocks my friends Kaytie and Fiona who have been absolute stars and i can not thanks them enough for all the  things they have done for me and my family!  Also thanks to tthem in advance if they have to carry me round the race for life!!!!  I am doing 2 sponsored walks that day one for Ollies nursery and then the race on the night!! Think i will be in bed for the rest of the week, but as long as i do it then so what!!! COME ON HELP US FIGHT THIS DREADED C!!!
