My Feisty Friend!

My friend Doreen has now been moved back to Montauban from Toulouse. I'm sorry to say that the news is not good. They've discovered  cancer and started chemotherapy  Nothing 100% definite as of yet on just how bad it is.

As I would expect my feisty friend Doreen has vowed to fight whatever this is. Knowing her she will probably win. She's a winner, we all know that! I just wish they'd let me in so I could hold her hand in my paw. Its frustrating to only be able to lend support via my blog. (My temporary Ghost Writer is OK, but he's not Doreen. At least he takes dictation well.)

I really feel sorry for Gavin, Doreen's husband. There's not a lot he can do other than lend support which he does. Thanks to my friend Jacques efforts Doreen has a private room at the hospital where they bring in a folding bed for Gavin to sleep on. I'm sure it lends strength to Doreen to have him there all the time.

Doreen's many friends have rallied around with messages and visits. She's getting lots of emails in support and can now answer them as she has internet access via a smart phone. (She can get messages via either her old email address OR via a new one which is: escriveranglais@gmail.com.) Her visitors are many. I only wish I could be one of them. I just had my monthly 'toilettage' yesterday and am looking my best. I'm sure it would cheers Doreen up to see my smiling face. (Yes, we dogs can smile you know.) I think I'll send her my picture.

As in my last message I'd encourage all of Doreen's many animal friends to pray for her. I'll certainly be doing so. All my love to you, Doreen!
