Hi Pamela! I don't post often but just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you, checking your updates regularly and that you are still in my thoughts and prayers.

good morning Pamela and Kerr from sunny Punta Cana. I hope that the transfusion helps today so that tomorrow you can get your chemo! My husband returns from Canada tomorrow, And the mutts and I are excited about that. Me because, I am sick of living of toast and eggs because no point cooking for just myself (plus its insanely hot anyway!) Wish me luck for the drive to the airport. The driving is insane here and the only rules really are the biggest car wins (and I drive the tinest car available here on the island lol) Gracie and Oliver send their love to you as well.

Hello Pamela, I have been following your journey and sending you so much love and positive thoughts. I was at your favourite beach a few days ago and thought you might like to see a photo of Brown's Bay. I hope you have a better day today, thinking of you always xx

I hope today is better Pamela 🙏

Dear Pamela, I haven’t been able to be online much lately and have not been on your thread for a while. I see you’ve been continuing to battle this storm, which is no surprise as you seem one very determined woman.

I wish I knew what to say other than I’m sorry things are still so very tough. No wonder you are scared. I would be too. We all would. I’m so glad you have lovely Kerr by your side through this. He is obviously a wonderful man and I hope he is ok- as much as could be expected while going through this with you.

I’ve just been looking through my recent photos to see if I had any beautiful views or cute animal pictures to send but my recent pics aren’t very interesting. So instead, I will just send peaceful thoughts your way, and more hope. x

MissHoollie · 18/07/2023 13:54

So hope you feel a bit better after the transfusions and chemo can goa head tomorrow.
Keep going Mrs

Just wanted to say - keep trucking, I’m sure the fresh air and some exercise is doing you good.

EnjoythemoneyJane · 18/07/2023 16:01

Pamela, I’m so happy to have found you again! I’m on the other side of the world atm with patchy WiFi and I’d been trying to keep up with your progress but for the last week MN’s been telling me it can’t find thread 5 (‘down the back of the sofa’ or some shite) so I feared you’d asked for it to be taken down. Not that I’d blame you, given what you and your family are going through.

Just wanted to let you know you’re genuinely in my thoughts every single day. I’m not religious but I visited a really beautiful, peaceful Shinto shrine in Kyoto last week and decided to write a prayer/wish (emu) for you. Hope it works mate x

Hi Pamela

Sorry to hear yesterday wasn't good. I hope today has been good for you, hope the blood infusions went well & I have everything crossed for you getting your chemo tomorrow.

Pic today is a nice sea view, taken in the hot sunny weather we had a few weeks ago. Today it's pouring but the garden plants are enjoying it.

Sending lots of love & strength. Xxx

As Churchill said, ‘keep buggering on’. What else can we do.

You are amazing, and your will to KBO knows no bounds.

Lots of stranger love, from a rainy Waitrose car park in York.

Hello my remote friend, I think you feel like family to most of us who've been following you so far, dear Pamela. I was walking to the office and praying for you (under my breath, obvs- we are in London :-) and I walked pas the school at Aldgate whose motto chimed very well with our sentiments so far. I do hope you are well enough for chemo tomorrow . Love from Chris in Rickmansworth

Dear Pamela
Am so sorry to read that you are feeling so rough .Can the ascites be drained off to relieve some of the discomfort? Hopefully a blood transfusion top up will steer the way to your chemo . I think about you so many times a day and really hope Prof B can be positive tomorrow. Wishing you my fondest thoughts . You really are an inspiring warrior💕
