Haven't really felt up to posting this until today, but here goes. My mum was taken ill over new year with what was 1st thought to be flu, then a water infection, then a gall bladder infection, but has been diagnosed as burkitt lymphoma, one of the rarest blood cancers you can get. She has now been in Birmingham for a week, beginning the long battle of treatment that is ahead. My cycling may get curtailed considerably over the coming months, with the travelling over to see her, but I still aim to get out when time allows, if only to de-stress a bit
