About Me

My name is Jenny and this is my blog. My life was changed forever on the fateful day of 31st March 2004, the day I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I know that there are so many people who are touched by cancer, I am not rich I cannot find a cure but I can knit... So I decided I would like to try and knit the longest pink scarf in the world. I started the Jenny Chant Appeal to help with education and support for sufferers and their families. Since the inception so many things have happened. One thing that I was not prepared for was being diagnosed with cancer for the 3rd time. In August 2008 I was told that I had lip cancer and that I needed to have life saving surgery in case it spread to the lymph nodes in my neck. I am not a vain person but when I saw the scar it made me weep... I now could not hide from my brushes with death. On to my final words of wisdom: my only advice to men and women is always go for check-ups regularly (and inspect yourself), never lose faith and always try to be positive. Jenny

october 30th

Hi everyone,

I cant believe the month of october is almost gone, the good thing is it is halloween and we are having a HALLOWEEN PARTY. There will be quite a few people and we are all going to dress up. I cant wait. For the past week I have been busy with my knitting . I went into town and saw a few of my knitters. WE went for coffee at harrys and chatted about things we had done which was fun.

I spoke to Roberta from our church who is also one of my knitters, she had finished another 2 scarves, which was fantastic. I will let you know how the party went, but I am sure we will all have loads of fun. Have a wonderful weekend and a great halloween. Speak to you soon.

Love.

Hello everyone,

I have not been on my blog for quite awhile,sorry! but I am back with some of the things I have been up to.
After recovering from the flu, I had some friends from SA staying with me.We took them all over the UK which they really enjoyed. I was knacked. I must be getting old ha ha. I got Rose to knit 2 scarves which was great.

 We are having a halloween party at my son Donovans house which should be great fun, as we all have to dress up. There will also be lots of food and drink and fireworks. I am sure we will all have loads of fun, there will be about 15 of us. We will be rocking the night away.

I have also done quite a few PINK scarves for the appeal, if you would like to help, please go to my website.www.jennychant.co.uk. Your help would be much appreciated.

HI everyone,

I was feeling so much better, I went to church and enjoyed the lovely service. When I got outside, my friend Jacky was waitng for me.She had been to the hospital for a scan, but praise the lord, everything went well. WE had a good old chat, which was great.

I am back at home making lunch, while that was cooking I watched a bit of tv and finished another scarf which was brilliant. Another end to a lovely day.

Love.

Hi all,

I dont seem to lead a very exciting life,but I am always busy doing one thing or another. When I went into town I met one Rose one of my knitters, we had a good old chat and had coffee at Harrys. Which was lovely.

I am always bumping into someone I know and we have a good old pow wow. I watch quite a bit of tv while doing my knitting. I like watching comedy and  the game shows, like deal or no deal and pointless. I had another great day.

Love.

Hello everyone,

Yes its me again,

When I got home on Friday, after going to Nuneaton I really felt bad. My head was really throbbing,so I thought, take some pain killers and rest, which I did to no avail. I had picked up a bug some where and had a terrible bout of flu. NO not swine flu, thank the lord.

I stayed at home for almost a week, so I dont have anything exciting to divuldge. Thursday I felt much better and took a walk into town which was great. Can you believe another month has flown by. I did get a lot of knitting done, so that was wonderful.

Love.

Friday 25th October. Not feeling to bright.

Hi,

Me again,

Woke up, not feeling to bright, Headachey runny nose etc. I got out of bed did all the usual things we people do. I took some pills and after awhile I felt a little bit better. My friend Jacky and I took the bus to Nuneaton. I went into the wool shop to say hi to Sarah, who owns the shop and is a drop off point for completed scarves for the Jenny Chant Appeal, which was great.

If you would like to join the Appeal, please go to my website, which is! http://www.jennychant.co.uk/. It would be great to hear from you.
