Music on the Meadow

Saturday 10th August 2013

On Friday 2nd August my family and I attended Music on the Meadow – an event held every year at Muttley and Jean’s barn, Builth Wells, to raise money for different charities and people through musical performances. This year was the events 10 year anniversary and I was very kindly asked if they could raise money for me, alongside the Wales Air Ambulance and Naina Fundraising. The night was a huge success with a great turn out and fantastic performances from Owen Morgan, Tri Tenor and Tony Royale.
On the 7th August it was one year since I was diagnosed. To think it’s been a whole year is crazy, looking back it seems to have gone fast, although there have been days it was difficult to see when the treatment would come to an end. I have now completed my twelfth session of chemotherapy and I’m back in on Monday for my thirteenth of fourteen. Not too many more to go! I also have an appointment with my surgeon from The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham on the 20th August to discuss potential operations on my head to sort my hair out, after my treatment finishes.
 
I’ve been up to a few nice things whilst being out of hospital these last couple of weeks, to cheer myself up, including afternoon tea at Netherstowe House, which was delicious and a fabulous experience! I’ve also caught up with friends, family and an old school teacher (Wendy) who’s had a baby since we last saw each other - he’s so cute! And it’s Mum’s birthday today so it was shopping in Solihull yesterday for the pair of us! I think a chilled weekend is in order now, ready for Monday’s session.
