Well, I have met with two surgeons and both of them say that they cannot help me. The surgery would be too extensive, the tumours are too deep, there are no clear margins, major blood vessels traverse that area, and a host of other reasons. They were both really fine people and clearly very dedicated professionals and I just have to accept that the surgery door is now closed.

In addition to this bad news, I have been through a few days of illness and that is always frightening. It is difficult to hold on to one's composure, believe that the pain will pass and life will go on.  At least I will have had lots of practice!  I am feeling very well and strong today again and have been out and about a lot. The weather cooperated, providing a bright and warm day. 

I spent four days last week in Palm Springs with a good friend and we played a lot of tennis. It is such a pretty resort and sunshine is guaranteed. The heat is on its way though and we watched the temperature go over 30 degrees at midday. Summertime there would be just too hot for me!

Here is a glimpse of the beauty...
