I don't know if you've ever been to Edinburgh. It's a very ancient city with lots of green space in and around the built up districts.
At the heart of the city lies Holyrood Park with the landmark hill of Arthur's Seat at its centre. That's the venue for the Race For Life each year in Edinburgh.
We set off along with about 8000 other women for a 5Km run ( or walk in my case) around the hill. Last year I ran it - not suspecting for a minute of course that people would be running with my name on their shirt this year. Hey - what the hell, if you cant beat them ......
The support and buzz was fantastic
I walked all the way and raised about £200. The day raised well over £500,000 in total for cancer research. I don't know if you've ever taken part in one of these occasions but if you haven't then please do. You'll love the sense of togetherness that it generates and the buzz from being involved.

What a wonderful, informative and uplifting blog site you have. Thank you for sharing your journey! I read about your blog on the breastcancer.org website, and now I've bookmarked your site so I can follow your "adventure"... you both have a wonderful attitude and Marjory, you are gorgeous, brave and strong! (And you both have a great sense of humor...)
Thank you for helping others in this way; with your medical backgrounds you each have a unique ability to comment on all of this. I'm having an excisional Bx on Friday and will have to see how things play out.
Best wishes to you both!
