Spain was wonderful and so is Steve

Well we are back! And it was wonderful. Not only the weather but the whole thing! Steve was and is the best Ive seen him in a very long time!! The stress of getting to Spain was so worth it.

We arrived in Spain after a very early start but no one minded as the Sun was shinning! And shone it did for the rest of the 15 days. We had lots of fun and spent time during the day in and out of the pool and at the beach. Every evening we all went out for dinner.

For the first few days it was just us and Steves parents and then after that the Moores arrived (Steves sister, husband and 3 children) which made for a real familly holiday. The girls and in fact all of us loved it.

I think your getting the feeling here! We had a wonderful time.

Steve did sleep but somehow, it didnt feel like he was sleeping as much. He was always up for his "Mum's" lunches! and then with us all relaxing on sun loungers or lilos (that was me!) then it didnt feel any different from anyone else on holiday.

The sun and the warmth of the weather really helped with Steves back and the pain was by the last week all but gone.

By the end of the holiday we were looking forward to coming home but with a slight apprehension as Steve was doing so well and we were all so relaxed it had become so easy to forget about the battle against kidney cancer. Whilst we were away Tom called us and left a message on my mobile. It still makes me feel emotional that someone as busy as Tom is, still takes time out to call us and we aren’t even officially his patient anymore. He was calling just to check on how Steve was doing and we will probably go and see him in the next few weeks to get his opinion on things, as both Steve and I really value his opinion.

Steve has got an appointment with Prof Pandha on Wednesday to talk about taking the new cancer drug so I will update after then and for the time being we are enjoying being home and trying to get use to this cold weather and rain!!!
