Mind your P's and Q's...an update

So today (yesterday now!) I finally got the news about my 1p19q gene mutation. I don't have the gene, I'm negative. We hoped for the best of course and having it being a bonus but it's ok as I was prepared. In summary this could mean I don't respond as well to certain types of treatment e.g chemotherapy but right now I'm not undergoing any further treatment so there is no need to worry. 

I still feel incredibly lucky to have IDH1 and I still feel positive about being the mixed glioma, and a grade 2. 

Life is good, I feel good and I can't complain. 

Mum and I were having a chat earlier about the phrase "mind your p's and q's" and we laughed as I said I thought it was about minding your manners but Mum said it was to do with drinks measurements 'back in the day' being measured in p's (pints) and q's (quarts) but I think in the modern world the definition is still about 'minding ones language!' Anyways we laughed and it seems pretty apt for today's title! 


Whatever the weather I'm going to keep going with the holistic route, I love meditation, I believe in a healthy diet and lifestyle and I am hoping to try magnetic healing very soon and will put a review here when I know more! 

It's Carl's 30th birthday this week and we have a special London trip over the next few days. I can't wait!! More on that to follow as I will try and capture some nice moments! 

Loads of love,
