    Kia Ora Everyone -

    I would like to write a lot, but my bran is sore and I need to rest.

    Thakk you for every prayer, thought, song, dollar, dream, and wish that has come my way.

    I have felt everyone.

    I am lucky to be alive

    I am a living miracle.

    I feel filled with Magic

    I feel filled with Love.

    I have had a very hard time on the steroids and am exhausted. It is my last day today and I have sould sisters coming to see me every day this week to hold my feet while I reclaim sleep and rest for my tired body.

    We are surrounded by wonderful community and feel blessed.

    Now I jsut have to wait to find out when I will be doing stereotactic radiation to the brain.

    I know it will be 5 days of very high radiationto a very specicif part of my brain. I will have my head strapped to the table in a mask so I can't move. I did feel scared about it but I don't any more.

    This morning when I got up I decided every day I wake up for the next year I will ask myself :

    If I die today - what do I need to do today to die well?..

    I feel deeply enlivened by being in deep realtionship with my own mortality

    I know how lucky I am . I could be dead, but I am not , and I plan to make the most of every moment I have been so graciously blessed with

    Kia Ora Everyone -

    Gosh thank you so much for getting behind my sudden plea for help.

    I feel very loved and supported by you all and although I'm not in a position to reply I read all your messages and they bring me huge comfort . Thank you.

    I got results back today from all my additional scans and the good news is that the breast metastasis are confined to the one big tumour in my left cerebellum . I've definitely got some angels looking out for me as the tumour is in a relatively easy place to remove as far as brain surgery goes.

    A panel of my skull will be removed on the back left of my head and a drain will be put in at the top to help prevent swelling . The surgery is expected to take about 4 hours and commence sometime between early to mid morning on Fridat 25th of September. I'll the be in a high observation unit for approximately 3 days after that.

    Please send a prayer , a thought , some candlelight my way on Friday morning if you can .

    I feel the love from everyone of you and have deep trust I will come through this even though I am also simultaneously experiencing moments of feeling scared and also at peace.

    Tomorrow I will spend the day centering and steadying myself for the big event .

    See you on the other side of it xxc
