Cathy's Cancer Journey

Wishing you all a very happy New Year 2026 is going to be amazing 💃🏼 XX

Apologies for the long silence x I was waiting to hopefully give you some good news and thankfully that is a exactly what I am doing 🙂 having had my surgery which went incredibly well I have since had my scan on the liver and the results came through last week to say that it is clear 🙂 so it seems that my assumption that it was darling little Kracka 🐴 walking over me like a carpet was correct:-)

I am writing this having had the most amazing birthday celebrations which started here in Guernsey with drinks on the Saturday as we were away on the Sunday to go skiing with the family and Ian . I managed to ski a couple of hours each day which was as much as I could have possibly hoped for and Maggie and Evie absolutely loved ski school but they loved being carried down the mountain with Sebastian and Paul to the ski lift or the restaurant at lunchtime even more , and Maggie says that she’s not leaving early next year she is staying for the whole holiday 🙈😂

Everyone made my 60th birthday a fabulous day to remember, there was champagne at the top of the mountain in the horn Boden which was very necessary as it was so blooming cold -14 at that point , I skied with a red balloon attached to me all day courtesy of Penny and then we had a wonderful evening with musicians and lots of dancing at the chalet . There were t shirts printed with various photos of me throughout my life being worn and confetti of my face everywhere for days not forgetting the tattoos of my face all over people’s bodies , that was bad enough but it was even worse when people couldn’t get them off 😳🙈

I have been thoroughly spoilt with the most amazing flowers and presents, which all were incredibly thoughtful 🥰

So it is a matter of continuing the drugs and getting through the rest of this journey.

I did forget to take my pill that helps me sleep the other night which didn’t seem too bad so I thought that I would try not taking them ……. Big mistake ! I went without sleep for 3 nights,sweated buckets and was generally a wreck so I consulted my best new mate chat gpt who told me off for trying to go cold 🦃 and suggested that with my condition and on the pills that I am on that I get straight back on them 😂bless him 🥰 so of course I have listened to him 👍😂

So 2026 is looking like a busy year one of my big goals is to take lily to compete at Hickstead in May and drop Kracka off to be broken in at the same time so fingers crossed 🤞 that it all goes to plan , as always I would like to leave you with a little something and this time it is my new slogan ;

‘CARPE DIEM’ Don’t leave till tomorrow the jewels that you can wear today 💕

Lots of love and thank you for being my friend,

Love you guys,

Cathy xxx
