Fantastic news!

As most of you know I'm involved with Jo's Trust which is active in campaigning for the cervical cancer vaccine. Yesterday we heard that the JCVI has made a recommendation on the HPV vaccination! We still have a way to go, but this is a huge step, espeically with some of the nasty stuff that has been published about cervical cancer and HPV. Yesterday was a strangely emotional day. Democracy wins the day. My faith in the political process is a little restored, especially as I also got a supportive letter from our local MP, Edward Davey!

On a personal level other news is that I've lost 7 lbs so am really happy about that too! That's even with birthday celebrations :)
