Many, many thanks to everyone that left messages for Zoe (
probodie) in response to my last post. I'm so sorry that I haven't responded to everyone individually, I spent most of yesterday travelling and it's taken me until now to suss out the wifi in our rented flat (not helped by the fact that I turned the router off, having mistaken the plug for the one belonging to a table lamp. Doh!)
I've had more news from Zoe's fiance Mike this afternoon, and I'm so sorry to report that it's not good. The worst, in fact. Zoe's leukaemia has returned, more aggressively than before, and because of her weakened condition the medical team have decided that further treatment would be too much for her. The situation is that she could slip away at any time.
We are still planning to visit Zoe in the morning. I'm praying that we're not too late.
