Today I’ve sung tenor in a Society parish Mass (the quintet ended up a quartet w/ 2 altos & 0 bass, so 2 of us dropped down a part), then sop 1 solo in Haydn’s The Heavens are Telling for #Evensong in my home church. A day full of variety & joyful praise ❤️ And I’ve decided to start #organ lessons!

A wonderful Sunday afternoon listening to the @stalbanscathedral.bsky.social choir in their moon-themed concert and then the joy and privilege of leading and cantoring #Evensong with my wonderful sending church choir. Dyson in D Nunc always makes my spine tingle. Feeling so very blessed 🙏🏼 ❤️ 🎶 🌕

Here we go again. #Kadcyla 13/14. So #tired I was offered postponement/skipping final dose on 24/02. I said no. Desperate to be finished & want all the #chemo as high recurrence risk. Hope no A@E visit as last cycle. Much ❤️ & TY for all your prayers & support xxx #bilateralbreastcancer #breastcancer

Giving thanks to God for being able to be back in the comfort of my own home. Have to return 2x a day to hospital for IV antibiotics and obs for the next ten days, but it’s worth it. #grateful #Hickmanline #serioussepsis #bilateralbreastcancer #breastcancer #kadcyla #chemo #chemotherapy #cofepeeps

I'm now STABLE! Hickman line's out & won't be replaced. Consultant is liaising w/ microbiology on changing antibiotics. I may even be discharged TODAY! I'm through the other side. TY for all your prayers & support. Much love xxx

Prayers welcomed my friends as my temp is spiking again as it did Fri night. Back up to 38.4 - 38+ is the danger zone. Hopefully paracetamol will do its job. Pls pray also for B who is in agony in the bay next to me after cancer treatment & in hospital on her 28th bday 😢 #prayerrequest #cofepeeps

Today was #septicaemia round 2 but the antibiotics are working & I’m feeling less horrendous. The Hickman line’s been removed & will be replaced later this wk. God is v good & I am v thankful to be in hosp & on the road to recovery ❤️‍🩹#bilateralbreastcancer #cofepeeps #cancer #infection #breastcancer

Would welcome prayers. Looks like I’ve just started on round 2 of septicaemia 🤦‍♀️ They already know the infection so antibiotics already tailored. This is really scary. But. I am held by God’s perfect, eternal circle ❤️ #cancer #breastcancer #infection #hospital #bilateralbreastcancer #kadcyla #loved

Update. My cousin is able to open her eyes and has managed to utter a few words. So grateful for all your prayers. Thank you x #prayer #healing #cofepeeps

Wide awake on the ward after a new patient is moved into the next bay. And then suddenly, from nowhere, I overhear a profession of thanks & the response, ‘No problem. God is love’. Profoundly moving. God is amidst us, holding us in our trouble and pain. #hospitallife #blessed #chemo #cofepeeps

Asking for prayers for my beloved Polish cousin Alina, who has been admitted to hospital and is not responsive. Closed eyes, does not hear her daughter speaking to her 💔 We are desperately worried. #prayer #cofepeeps

Finally transferred to haematology/oncology ward @ 5am. So relieved. Trolley beds are uncomfortable! V happy w/ my large 2-bed room on a modern ward w/ its own loo, next to a window which opens. Little things like that help so much #chemo #infection #Kadcyla #cancer #bilateralbreaatcancer #cofepeeps

In Same Day Emergency w/rigors & septicaemia. Likely line infection again. Waiting for blood cultures. Being admitted as temp still high & blood pressure v low. V grateful for excellent care, friends who’ve helped & for my amazing daughter xxx

Super concert last night - I managed all of it. Grateful to be able to sit when I wasn’t singing. My best bit was definitely ‘In Freezing Winter Night’, when my lovely daughter sang the soprano solo and I sang the alto one ❤️ Such a joyful evening! #chamberchoir #choir #choral #concert #cofepeeps

So looking forward to singing in this w/ my younger daughter tonight. And the headache is (mostly) gone… It’s ages since I’ve been well eno’ to sing in a concert w/ my chamber choir - so it’s going to be a challenge physically. Hope I’m up to it. #Advent ##choir #LeaSingers #Britten #cofepeeps

No #churchchoir practice bcos today I’ve been struggling with #neuropathy headaches, a delight bequeathed by #chemo. Sad not to be singing wonderful #Advent music w/ my friends but putting #well-being first so I’m well eno’ to sing this w/end. Fed up tho. Chemo is getting more gruelling 😔 #cofepeeps

I was well enough to get to Cuddesdon for training this week, and even to take Evening Prayer and Sung Compline. What a privilege to be formed in this holy place ❤️

After more years than I care to remember sitting in the choir stalls, today I led Evensong for the first time. What a privilege. Love being cantor. And my new worsted wool cassock fit & was toasty warm, even despite no church heating. Hurray. Feeling so blessed tonight ❤️ #evensong #cofepeeps
