Long time no see!! Exciting news from me!!

Hi Kerrie, lovely to 'see' you.

Wow, 3 dress sizes! That's bloomin' impressive! You have done so incredibly well over the last couple of years with all that life has thrown you. You always seem so strong and it doesn't suprise me at all that you'd put yourself through something as challenging as that bike ride. I'll gladly sponsor you when I get home (can't access it at work).

I didn't know about the cancer scare. I'm so sorry that you're going through that on top of everything else. What operations are they planning? I'm keeping my fingers super tightly crossed for you ?

Hi Kerrie

I don't think I was around on here when you were before but I just wanted to say that it sounds like you're making really fantastic progress and I wish you all the very best x

WOW, an inspiration.

As I've told you before, my Dad died of a brain haemorrhage, and sadly my Mum has just been diagnosed with breast cancer (had a mastectomy last Thurs).

I would be happy to donate, although I won't until tomorrow as I'm off here until then.

Well done, I wish you all the best and wonder what my excuses are all about after reading this! Good luck xx

Hi PP

Believe it or not the cancer scare is linked to my PCOS. I went for a scan in Jan 08 to plan ICSI and they discovered I have complex hyperplasia in my womb which is final stage before cancer. Had some biopsy's done under General Anaesthetic and they thought they could sort it out with drugs as it had been caught early enough. Went onto drugs to sort it out and 6 weeks later had my brain haemorrhage. Totally unlucky for me and not connected at all but all drugs had to stop until meds for brain were under control. Had more biopsy's done in March 09 and they were found to still be complex hyperplasia so more drugs were prescribed (drugs are meant to induce bleeds causing hyperplasia to leave the womb). Drugs have not been working much. Seemingly the only guarantee to remove the chance of endometrial cancer is to have a hysterectomy but as I want kids we are trying everything else first. If left untreated it would be cancer within months. But now I have been told there is a new op available at the new hospital in derby that means they take some of the lining and all of the hyperplasia but leave the womb intact. I have more biopsy's done on 8th October and discuss other treatments then. I am not giving up though. The big man upstairs had his chance to take me last year and he didn't want me so I not letting this do me in!!! Hence the personal trainer and total lifestyle change!!

Hope you are ok. Have been lurking on BT and have kept up with your rough ride of recent months. Hope you are keeping your chin up and not giving up either. Loving your cakes by the way and might have a challenging one for you!!! I'll message you through Facebook.

Take Care

Oh Kerrie, that's all so incredibly unfair. I can't believe that one person can go through so much. I just want to give you a super big hug and make it all go away. I really hope that the drugs start doing their thing soon, or at worst, the operation is successful and not too painful.

I've been following your gym visits on FB, sounds like you're a completely new person. Have you done some before and after photos? I'd love to see.

If there's ever anything I can do you know you've only got to say. Even if it's just a lift somewhere or something. I'm still not that far away.

And I'm up for a challenging cake - I shall be Duffette! ? (unless you watch Ace of Cakes you won't get that but it made me laugh ?)
