After having a real positive start to a new week I got some really awful news that's made me feel really down but suprisingly has n't made me want to turn to food. I went out to a friends house for dinner, there were a bunch of us and I made the most sensible choice of what was on offer of the shepherds pie and some salad and turned my nose up at lasagne, dolma, biriani and countless different deserts and cakes.
My best friends 12 year old daughter was diagnosed with bone cancer today and I'm in total shock. A year ago she started to get pain in her leg while on holiday and went to the GP who said it was something like growing pains and left it at that - a few weeks back she had what was thought to be a bite of some kind, her leg swelled up and a visit to the GP gave her antihistamines and when that did n't work 2 courses of antibiotics which did n't clear it up and she was sent for xrays which showed something suspicious and full scans have revealed a tumor just below her knee about the size of an apple, a hole in her bone too and something suspect on her kidney. She goes into hospital in birmingham on Sunday for a full biopsy and we should know more about what her treatment is going to be. Please keep her in your prayers, things are not looking good
