Wow! What an eventful few weeks for us with extreme highs and lows. The first high was the successful book launch and the fast paced sales of our book. Then all the wonderful reviews we have had sent to us. We are so happy that everyone is enjoying the book. The week after the launch Graham and I went on a vacation and spent an idyllic 12 days on the Hawaiian Island of Maui. We didn't read a newspaper, listen to the news or check email for the entire vacation. It was heaven. We soaked up the sun, enjoyed the fantastic food and enjoyed each others company. Once I find out how to do it I will post some photos. Before we went away Bonnie had been admitted to hospital so she was on my mind. I visited the day before we left and she said she was feeling better and would probably be going home the following day. She was excited for me and wanted me to have a good holiday and not did not want me worrying about her. The day I arrived home I heard from Glenda that Bonnie was gravely ill. I was able to see her and say goodbye. She died the day after I got home. I feel a sense of relief for her that she no longer has to endure treatments and that she is at peace. I miss her so much. I hear my phone ring and think it will be Bonnie before I remember. My heart aches for her family. I still hear her voice but now instead of reaching for the phone to call her I stop and think "What would Bonnie have said or what would Bonnie have done. I am still waiting to hear about the tumour marker results to find out if I will be starting any new treatments. I had to stop the hormonal treatment for a couple of weeks because of side effects. But will be starting them again next week if the tumour markers are stable. If not then I will be starting another chemo treatment. I have told my Oncologist that I want hair for the summer. She said OK so we will do a treatment that doesn't cause hair loss. I have some hair growing back and it is a 50-50 blend of grey and black. my daughter in law loves the colour and says I should consider keeping it this colour. I am not sure if I am ready for grey yet. Maybe I will post some photos when it has grown a bit and have an online vote!!
