Megan, the lovely doctor came in with a colleague today, to bring the news of my biopsy.  I have cancer, non-Hodgkins lymphoma.  I began to cry, partially of course because I have cancer, but also because the agonising wait was over.  At least I finally know what is wrong with me, after 10 days in the hospital.  I immediately asked Megan if she could refer me to the Royal Marsden, she said she would do this ASAP.  I asked to be left alone, as I wanted to call the news to my ‘support’ group.

Minna, Suzie and Sofia came to see me.  Suzie immediately decided I needed to move in with her, and hopefully also with Steph who is currently looking for somewhere to live in Hackney.  Suzie gave Steph a quick call, and Steph was happy to look for a home with us.

My head is spinning with all that has happened, and I feel my life is about to change quite drastically.
