I have been silent for a little while now. Nix needed a little time before I uploaded the latest news but is happy for me to "go public" now (she usually has to face quite a lot of questions after news like this as you can imagine). The results of her CT scan showed more spots in the liver (her last scan, in January this year, showed the liver to be almost clear / normal after treatment with harsh liver chemo, so this wasnt great news). The doctors are meeting in the coming week to discuss the way forward regarding her treatment. I dont think she will be allowed to continue on the strong liver chemo as her body has had enough of that. So it's up to them to decide where to from here. She remains absolutely unchanged in her outlook and continues to be the positive, faith-filled person we all know her to be.

She has suffered a bit over the last few days with debilitating headaches - so please keep her in your prayers in that regard.

The family have been sponsored 2 nights away at Bon Cap Organic Wine Farm / Guest Farm in Robertson (arranged through Amanda Power - who has bravely fought her own fight with Breast Cancer a few years back). They leave tomorrow, if Nikki is feeling strong enough, and will return on Tuesday, which is Hannah's 7th birthday! It will be so special for the family to spend Hannah's special day together, celebrating.

It's been good to have the children on their school holidays during the last week - we managed to catch up with friends and family and have some great fun together. We're gearing up for the madness of the 4th term now. Hold on to your hats!
