So why a blog?

The simple idea behind this blog is to help us keep family and friends informed of whats been happening. As you all know, this year has been a little of a roller coaster ride for Anna & I and it's not always easy to find the time to update everybody with the latest news, we don't want this to be 'facebook' update of pointless drivel but somewhere where people can check to see how we are doing if they want to. Please don't feel obliged to visit or post, just come and have a look if you want to, take care and love to you all!

First treatment

Steve went off this morning to the hopital du jour at Purpan. He was in good spirits despite being a bit anxious. It all starts again today. It was very sad to wave him off in the ambulance with Xavi and Bella in my arms, knowing when he comes back he will feel so rotten and the kids just don't understand why Daddy can't play anymore..

We have had a lovely couple of days and braved toys r us yesterday to buy Xavi's birthday presents. Its a month away but we wanted to do it now when Steve is well so he has some real input into it all. Luck would have it that he will be having chemo the day of or the day before his birthday so will not be on top form. At least this way he knows he has been a real part of it all, especially after missing out on two christmasses and Bella's birthday due to his illness. Last night pancakes were consumed by all, Xavi and Bella are big fans and it was just so nice to have some time together as a family before it all starts again!

We have to stay positive, only six treatments, five more to go. My lovely brother is out this weekend to give us a hand, can't wait to see him and i know Bella will be so excited to see Aleeex! Here's hoping that its not too onerous and he copes with it will, roll on June!
