Time away is a Dream

✨DREAM WRITE UP: Lorna Pask Time away is a Dream The below is Lorna’s story, written in her own words: “My story started in July 2025 when I was suffering with minor symptoms, pain in left groin and constipation, which was initially thought to be Diverticulitis. But, blood tests came back with cancer markers, which then sent my brain in a whirl. After various scans and biopsy’s, I was diagnosed in November with cancer of the peritoneum grade 4. I saw the consultant on the Tuesday then started chemo on the Thursday, no time wasted or to even fully get myhead around it. I’ll admit it didn’t seem as bad as I had thought it might be, not good but better, Ive now had four rounds, really tough last month had a bone marrow biopsy on 31 December, which aggravated the sciatic nerve. Then chemo on the 2 January, which could have been better, but never mind got over it now. Thankfully, during my last appointment with the oncologist she told me my cancer had shrunk by half, which at least means the treatment is working. So, I can put up with anything to stick to plan A, living forever. I am so grateful for our time away that your wonderful charity gifted us it was a magical time. They sent us to a truly beautiful and scenic village at Willow Pastures Country Park, Skirlaugh. Thank you so so much. The time was incredible for us both. Love from myself and my Husband” #communityfirst #makeadifference
