We met Wendy and her husband in Bulgaria – they live in a village on the opposite side of the valley from us – but Wendy is currently back in the UK after being diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time in 20 years. She's currently part way through a course of chemotherapy, which will be followed by another 12 months of treatment with Herceptin, so will be staying in the UK for the foreseeable future.
As you can see though, she's not letting it get her down :)

This picture reminds me very strongly of a picture of my sister taken when she was sick. She had the same smile, showing courage and strength and the will to live. Despite my sister's enormous courage, she lost her fight, and died on December 1st last year of stomach cancer, at the age of 51. I hope Wendy will win her fight, I hope that with all my heart. Please send her my best wishes.
