Healing afoot...

What a wonderful world this is that we live in!! Have had great support and encouragement from the "Mind, Body, Spirit- the Holistic Way" group on the fabulous Care2.com site http://www.care2.com/c2c/group/MBS ...so many lovely people there!!

Plus we have had fantastic healings...well, Gordon mainly! Matthew Manning in Suffolk is outstanding (www.matthewmanning.com ) and has helped Gordon to regain his eyesight; then the Coping with Cancer charity in Leicester put us in touch with Ali Ladak...another wonderful healer who does a seated Japanese accupressure treatment- amazing stuff!!

All of which girds the loins for the 4th ( and, hopefully, last for a bit!) chemo course on Thursday...the oncologist couldn't see any further growth on the last x-ray of Gordon's lung tumours- hurrah!! But we are both looking forward to a break from the old Gemcitabine/Cisplatinum routine...

...and so I decided to get our my backside and do something to commemorate this moment and get myself and Fran ( now 18 year old daughter) to do the Race for Life in Loughborough in June...check out page www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/julieannfrancis for details etc. The lovely Chuck, who is a record producer in America and has re-released two of Gordon's albums, responded straight away...double hurrahs for Chuck!! As I said, what a wonderful world we do live in!!
