Nicola's News

I am continuing to feel well and really enjoyed the sunny weather last week, I even ventured oudoors without my gloves on! Sadly it looks like winter has come back for a while so I might not have seen the end of the pins and needles in my fingers yet.

The blood tests I had at the hospital yesterday showed that my white blood cell count is rather low. This lack of neutrophils means that I am more prone to infection and I was not able to have the chemotherapy. However I was able to have the antibody treatment and hopefully by next Monday my blood count will have improved enough for me to continue with chemo. It does seem odd that I felt disappointed NOT to have chemotherapy!

For your prayers:

• Philip's Mum is still very poorly, he is going over to Basingstoke to see her as often as possible.
• The children are all working hard, Rebekah has lots of assignments to complete before Easter, Abigail is coming to the end of a placement in a primary school, Hannah is getting to grips with her GCSE revision and Sam is enjoying school.
• Pray that I won't pick up any infections and that my blood cell count will soon improve.

With our love to you all,

Nicola
