I’m not in the least bit brave, MaL. Just trying to get on with life!

I admire your bravery at such a difficult time. Rather puts my ‘four o’clockers’ into perspective. I’m thinking of you and worrying about you.

Hi Liz - I’m feeling remarkably well so far. To the extent that I can’t actually consider myself ill. I expect the chemo effects will be cumulative so I’m not expecting it to be this easy all the way through, but I’ll take the good times while they’re here. And yes, I will have to get up in the middle of the night each time - 6 hours before the treatment starts.

Pig - I’m feeling reasonably upbeat at the moment, and yes, I think I’ve just got to get on with it. I’ll try to treat it like a plaster cast; an irritating but necessary inconvenience.

Hope you are still feeling okay. Will you always have to get up so early when you have chemo? Seems like an extra indignity -but no doubt it is the only way.

Thinking about you.

Wow. That puts my life in perspective. I can’t think of an upbeat comment either. Fighting these things is the only way isn’t it?

Sounds like you need the supportive up-beat comment more than me! We’ll have to get together for some mutual support…

Have been sitting for a while thinking of a short, supportive, up-beat comment to leave you but they all fall hugely short (few and far between, my 7 year old seems to be in a very long phase!!!! and I can barely converse politely without a glass of rose). Take huge amounts of care x
