We are plodding along.
What seemed so strange and scary at the beginning has somehow become normal. There is a new standard to measure by and everything is fine, by this new standard, good even. Until it isn't. Until there is a bump in the road.

We have now passed the halfway point of treatment. Hugo is currently on month 20, with 18 more to go. We are on the downhill slope towards the end of treatment. That light at the end of the tunnel is getting ever so slightly brighter.

September is coming. Soon the children will be heading back to school and autumn will be arriving. It also means the start of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, the colour for which is gold.
Lights, Camera, Action!

I have often wondered what it would be like to be famous, to be photographed and interviewed. That's probably my over active imagination at work again, but I suspect I'm not alone in being curious. Is it exciting, nerve wracking or just plain boring? Is it easy to trip over words, say the wrong thing or have your mind just go completely blank.
A Great Big Dose of Normality
Well it seems that summer is finally here. The children have broken up from school, the tube is like a sauna and everyone is excitedly talking about their upcoming holidays.
