Alidari, Let me try again. I did a comment Friday, but in the rush, it went missing. For a reason I suppose. You are such a special friend of mine and we just love you to bits! Marietjie
Richard, many thanks for keeping me on copy on this note of yours earlier in the week. I had heard via Helen/Johan that Alida was not well, and obviously I/we all are thinking positively for her recovery. I think the Blog site is wonderful and inspirational ! Well done, and very best wishes to Alida. Thanks
Regards

Buggers I just left a long comment and it got deleted!
Are you going to post a family picture with all shaved heads? (sorry, that was suppose to be a joke. a bad joke..)
Anyway. I came via Tertia's blog. I'm sorry you're going through this but be assured you are not alone. Friends and families will get you through it.
I had Hodgkin's lymphoma when I was a newlywed of 10 weeks. I had just turned 24 years old. I was the first person in my family to have cancer. It was really difficult.. beyond difficult. I had 6 months of chemo and 2 weeks of radiation. I was healthy and well and no bad habits. WHY ME. I was angry and bitter for a long time.
Now I'm in my 6th year of remission, two beautiful children 2 and 4 yrs old. I just recently started my own business (there's even an ad on Tertia's blog!) www.KangarooBoo.com Life is good again.
I would recommend joining a support group online or in person. It really helps to have someone who's been there done that to guide you through the emotional aspects of it, as well as all the technical terms like drug names and symptoms etc.
Best wishes to you Alida. If you'd like to contact me, feel free to do so. I realize ovarian cancer is vastly different than hodgkin's, but I think the emotional and spiritual aspects are more alike than not.

It is Tuesday morning, Alida. Outside the noise of the Egiptian Geese...A beautiful day without any wind, it seems.
Hope you had a good night sleep and do not feel too miserable? Dreadful that we need something so toxic to our whole system to kill those unwanted cells? Your feeling sick a healthy response, washing it out,...a purpose... We are all thinking of you...
Hi Alida. I always know you as Ada, well after three months in Dubai a return to Singapore came at the right time,looking forward for our December holiday in Cape Town. I was realy shocked and still am when Hennie gave me the news. I am lost for words all I can say is that you are busy running a marathon race and as every marathon runner knows it is not an easy race to run, but with a positive attitude and great believes a marathon race can be won. So vasbyt Nig sien jou binnekort sterkte aan Ian en die seuns. Best Regards Desmond
No doubt, now you can feel the therapy in action. Just think of every lousy feeling as a cleaning agent in action, killing those buggers, therefore the more lousy you feel the better you should feel.
Remeber nutrition is vitally important, as difficult as it may get and water,not with the whiskey but plain.
Thinking of you as the sun sets on this Tuesday here in Belgium.
Lieve Ada , Gister ook 'n briefje geschreven maar gezien het is niet door gegaan. Je bent 'n KEI VAN 'N GRIET. TROTS OP JOU EN DE 3 MANNEN. Bid voor jou en denk aan je. Hoop je zaterdag te zien Liefde groeten Lomi en Pa

I see you finally got the picture up - looks like it was worth the effort - what a beautiful family photo!
