Hi Lorna

I spoke to Lyn very briefly on Thursday (I think it was Thusday!). As you may know, she is secretary of the school PTA and, as her twins are both off to uni this year, she is handing over the reigns and trying to tie up all the loose ends before the end of term. I'm sure she is doing far too much but Lyn is Lyn!!!

Her outlook isn't wonderful just now. The neutrophil levels are still dropping and she is far from well. She is still hoping the bone marrow transplant is a way off but, as she said "it isn't looking good".

She'll be on the forum aagain as soon as she sorts all the bits and pieces out and in the meantime, sends her love to her forum friends.

Love Jeanxxxx

Lots of love to Lyn - please tell her I`m thinking of her, and missing her pearls of wisdom! I hope she`ll still be able to go on holiday to Cyprus.

Hello Everyone!

Thank you so much Lorna for starting this thread and to you all for thinking about me; it has only been a few weeks but I have missed you

I'm still feeling quite rough but don't know whether it's down to the neutropenia, the RA, the university visits or the school stuff. Probably trying to do far too much of everything and a fair bit of general frustration to boot!! But heyho, life's far too short without getting down about it.

Ian and Jake don't actually leave college until 2011 but university visits have to start now because the application process for next year's intake begins in September. With two of them wanting to do different things in different places you will appreciate the work involved traipsing round the counties! Ian wants to do Mathematics and Jake's choice is Biomedical Science. Each student can apply for up to 5 universities and it is our choice to visit those we are able. I don't fancy them trying to make decisions that will affect their futures from a prospectus or website. In reality some places are not quite what they appear on paper!

Louis still has another year in school, the all important final GCSE year, although so much is modular these days and quite a bit of work has already been completed. In effect I will be Secretary of the school PTA until April next year. That said, lack of staff support and general unpleasantness from certain staff may have me throwing in the towel long before then!! I've made an appointment with the Head for Tuesday; one can take only so much!

I will catch up with my health news over the weekend!

Thank you all again
Love

Lovely to hear from you Lyn. I was beginning to worry it may have been the knitted sandwich

Hi Lyn,

Lovely to hear from you. I don't envy you doing double university visits, I found it hard enough with only one child looking!
I think when you go to meet the Head on Tuesday you should wear the tiara and carry the wand, and you could take the scissors too and offer him/her a haircut!
Hope things calm down for you soon.

Love and hugs, Doreen xx

Too late!!
