100 women taking annual blood tests.
100 women taking annual scans.
Six years on, the ovarian cancer tests continue.

A few weeks ago Joan, who has been volunteering to do these research tests, was issued with a letter about an irregularity.
I cancelled I planned training course I was leading for today, so I could go with her for a re-check - and, I will say this quickly, all the results were clear. It was a mistake. She is fine.
We were really pleased and Joan ........ very much relieved ........

So we stayed in London town which was drenched in sun. A large turn around from recent weeks.
We walked in St James Royal Park. Sipped peppermint tea. Chilled in the sun.
Then we walked up Piccadilly to Fortnum-Mason, the Queens shop - it was so beautiful that I snapped a few colourful views with my iPhone.
Then we slipped down the street and had afternoon tea at The Wolseley, a favourite restaurant.
Beautiful.
Great day - once the tension had slipped away.
It makes us feel deeply for many humans who's scans are not clear, and they have to face a different journey when they leave the hospital confines ...

Early start tomorrow ......... will get back to you late tomorrow.
You are beautiful.
