Hey folks! Woke up at Pats in Hyde Park Square after an Iranian dinner just down the road. We went to see Tony Blair's new house after dinner and I think we upset the armed policemen because we just walked by , turned and walked past them again! We certainly don't pose any threat, well I couldn't because I'm so dizzy!

Today was another mapping day and Brett was leading the pack so it didn't take as long as yesterday - whew! 4 down and now 26 to go.

Afterward we had a meeting with the Consultant Oncologist, Mrs Wilson. Phil and Si came as well and asked questions. All good because we MIGHT be able to bring down the steroids to eventually nothing. Yippee!

I'm feeling okay, but very dizzy now, still Mr Bump, Mr forgetful (sorry about the keys in Meribel Phil!) and Mr Clumsy.

Thanks so much to Phil and Diana for taking me up yesterday and for Phil taking me today and for Si coming and having a look at the Buzzymachine and asking the doc questions.

Love

Ali

Hi Ali,

Spoke to your mum and dad this morning and gather you're being farmed out to the family 'holiday home' in Welwyn tomorrow - you must have broken too many vases! Expect you're looking forward to seeing Jeanette, though ....

Keep up the good work, we're all rooting for you.

Take care, sending trillions of good wishes,

Lesley

Hey Al, have fun with Jeanette for the next few days. Really great seeing you over the weekend - enjoyed our slow meander in the rain!!!!

Take care of yourself and remember bananas not chedders!

Love and cuddles

Hey Ali,

Here comes instalment number three of the rhymes....I like to keep them topical..

Counting down the zappings
Only 26 remaining
You can do it Ali
Each time your health will be gaining

Thinking of it in simple terms
That's just 260 minutes in the mask
When you look at it in bite size chunks like that
It's not such a daunting task!

Allez Ali!
Have fun with Jeanette.

You forgot to say how the oncologist said you still look like a racing whippet even with an extra stone on!

You've got a great team looking after you and we all know you are going to get through this and be pounding up Alpe d'Huez on your bike again this Summer.

Allez Ali! Courage!

Philip

Hi Ali

I've just discovered how I can leave a message - that's the trouble with being an old biddy.
Just letting you know that Peter and I send our love. I have been reading your blog every day!

Hey Ali. Love the blog. Glad to hear that everyting appears to be on track. I will try calling you in the next couple of days - I hope I get the time difference from Australia right.

Best wishes,

Julian
