Hi Everyone,
I have felt so much better today than I did at this stage with the first chemo. The tablets keep the sickness at bay and I'm not falling asleep every five minutes. I'm feeling the cold still and get the odd spasm in my throat and hands but nothing too heavy. Mum and Dad continue to be a great help doing our weekly shop for us this afternoon and going to see Carys in her 'showing assembly' this morning. Chloe (bless her) has cleaned the house from top to bottom.
Teresa spoke to Amy yesterday who is struggling with all this at a distance, she also heard that her 'Matron of Honour' and James' best man can't make their wedding in October as they're skint. This is a real blow for them. I think for the first time she's feeling homesick. We do miss her.
Really looking forward to seeing our great friends Amanda & John Stamp tomorrow. We've shared a lot during the past 24 years having walked on very similar journeys with faith, family and business - it will be great to catch up with them. Also looking forward to breaking bread on Sunday with one thing or another I've not had communion for 4 months and that's too long.
Sorry to add another prayer request on the list but my cousin's partner (Rick) has recently been found to have a shadow on his lung. He works with asbestos and they've picked it up on a routine medical checkup. We hoping it's nothing but at the moment the whole of our small, close family is a little paranoid (as you might imagine). My cousin is called Liz and the kids are Freddie (6) and Robert (1) they live in Crich near Matlock, Derbyshire. Please pray that further tests happen quickly and amount to nothing.
The hair as finally gone! Teresa shaved it off as I was moulting everywhere and leaving a hairy pillow and bath each morning. I look like Action Man but without the physique or shifty eyes. Could have an NHS wig, think I'll pass. Or perhaps this is a good opportunity for a new look?
Hope you all have a good Friday evening and fun filled weekend.
God Bless
Dave

Welcome to the action man club!!
Glad to hear you're feeling better than last time.
Love to all from David & Suzy
Hi David,
Glad to hear your feeling better.
Shame about the wig though, I think you'd look good in one!
Plus My Dad and David(the other one)could borrow it for special occasions!
Sorry, that was a bit cheeky wasn't it?! True but cheeky.
Anyway, better go.. I'm missing Corrie
Love to You.
Love to the family.

Dave,
if your action man, make sure you stay away from Brabie and the other dolls. :) Glad to hear you're ok, Josh.
the stamps here......hate to trivialise this blog but can you post a menu of the pub that we're having dinner at tommorrow evening so that we can give it some thought as we travel down.....only joking looking forward to seeing you guys and comparing bald spots, mines testosterone fueled....
John - why can't this system have a spell check, it makes me feel vulnerable....it's ok people having religious debates on here but what if someone genuinely critises my spelling...i'll crumble.
Hi David and Teresa
I've been wondering the best way to contact you.. and last night I saw Hannah from Kip and she told me about your blog... so here I am!
I'm thinking about you lots and praying for you.
I'm so pleased that you have you strong faith in God to help you through this difficult time. Why a strong young man like you should get the dreaded 'C' is beyond me.. but I'm sure God has it all worked out in His big plan.
It is great reading about your progress - I'm sure that writing on here must be saving you getting loads of phonecalls!! It is obvious that many many people care about you and want to keep up to date.
I'll be reading.. and noting occasionally - and if nothing else, I hope that I benefit spiritually from your experience. Seeing your great faith is a wonderful testimony.
Anyway, take care for now... I'd love to see a picture of the Action Man haircut!

Hi David - just a few thoughts - you are all sounding so positive which is great!!! Shame Teresa did your hair!!! My Mum used to go out and shake it all off during dog walking (but then she was mad!!!) which she found very liberating - especially as it was spring time and thought it would make good nesting for the birds!!! I have to stick up for NHS wigs at this point & say they are great but I think it is more a girl than a guy thing!!! Hope this works am a complete blog virgin - keep smiling
Love Helen (from Kip)
Well done kid
Though I have to say I'd have a wig just for the fun of it. I did. You don't have to use but think of the new image you could create and fancy dress parties after. Glad you are feeling better this time. See you Sunday PS note to John write this in a book. Go to tools on the tool bar and you an spell check.
note to mu and ken....many thanks for the spell check advice, confidence reinstated and ready to ruck/rock/rick/wreck......
have a good weekend
John
why is there a quiz to identify bendy letters before you can leave a blog?
2nd note to mu and ken....
PS note to John write this in a book. Go to tools on the tool bar and you an spell check.
