"I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people." Luke 2.10

 AUGUST 21 st 2020

Dear All. As you will have heard from Steve, I have been discharged from Addenbrookes and am back home at last!

Boy am I glad to be back and in my own bed!

Unfortunately, I have to share with you some difficult news that may come as a shock to you, as it did to my family and myself very recently.
Doctors have now discovered that my Chronic Pancreatitis has turned malignant and so the diagnosis has changed to Pancreatic Cancer.
The prognosis is difficult to predict but we have been told that it likely to be limited.

I saw Bishop Jonathan yesterday and we had a long chat; I am so very grateful for his careand support on this journey.

I now wanted to share the news with you all as soon as possible as I am aware of how lovingly you have been holding me in prayer and
I can hardly begin to express my gratitudefor that. I have felt ‘held’ and cherished throughout this time. Thank you!

I am currently recovering from a minor operation to make me more comfortable at home and so will be out of action for a couple of weeks.
However, once that has healed, I very much hope to be able to come along to a church service
to say hello face to face so will see many of you there. I very much look forward to that.

Thank you all, once again, for your love, your prayers and your continuing faithfulness. Put your trust in the Lord always for he does not forsake us.
With my own love and prayers for you all. Jane
