Hi All
Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, things have been a little hectic.
I went to see the oncologist on Monday for my regular appointment. No real news apart from the 'putting back' of my chemo to October 1st. This way I should get one round in before the wedding and another afterwards. Joy! I'm having a PIC line again (fitted on the 23rd Sept) as the platinum based chemo hurts like hell if it goes into a vein. I'm a wuss, I confess! I did talk to him about the prognosis now, the main tumour is under control but the little nodules remain a concern; lets pray that the chemo and prayer continue to do their job. I'm feeling really well at the moment and swallowing is fine. All being well I should be back to work full-time from January - what a year.
Had quite a busy week church wise, went out for a meal on Monday to Dave & Ellens (thanks guys great veggie grub and fellowship), Tuesday XLR8 (youth group) started up again, Wednesday we had a strategic planning meeting for the building project (amongst other things), Thursday saw the first night of the new group for younger kids called the Rock and tonight our mate Dawn Bauling launches her new poetry collection. Wow; its great to be busy!
The church building project is really exciting and you can view the early plans on the church website at www.woottonnewlife.org.uk. This Sunday we have our brill 'All Age Worship' with breakfast beforehand so if you at a loose end you'd be welcome to join us from 9.30 am for breakfast and 10.30 am for the service.
A plug for John & Amanda's inn 'The Bear' at Alderwasley Nr Belper, Derbyshire. They're having an Abba night and hog roast on 0791 999 4026 with tribute band Mamma-Mia. More info at www.bear-hotel.com.
Thanks for checking in on me. I'll have lots to tell you after the weekend, but can't tell you now - it's a surprise.
For your prayers James Fokkens still hasn't received his visa. This is getting serious, if it is not through in the next few days the wedding date is in jeopardy. It might be that they have the religious ceremony (thus married in the eyes of God) and then complete the legal formalities after the honeymoon. I'll keep you posted.
Have a great weekend
Dave

Phew, I check into the blog every day to keep up with your activities and I must admit I was getting concerned with the silence so I am overjoyed to read your latest news. Never give up that's what I say and I really hope that Visa comes through for James. The run up to weddings can be stressful enough without wondering if vital paperwork is going to affect it. Enjoy the rest of this month without any 'pic' line or chemo to deal with - one day at a time and love every minute! Thinking of you xx
