Latest news re cancer

Will have to have 2 more sessions unfortunately,as it hasn't shrunk as much as expected.  This will take me up to Christmas ,and finish ( I hope!) in the first week of January.  To think it has almost been nine months since I was diagnosed. 
Still, I made a huge fish  pie for yesterday's lunch, and then today did a chicken dish with pancetta,garlic,and onions plus porcini mushrooms and sour cherries . Potatoes with olive oil, garlic and rosemary, and then Claudia Roden's Clementine cake ,made with half a dozen eggs, boiled and bashed up clementines, sugar and ground almonds, done in the food processor,which is so easy, then cooked for an hour in a moderate oven. With it I did a compote of clementines and  cranberries. Shared with my second granddaughter,and her friend who is at Uni here.
