    Oh I am sure it wouldn't but I too would be anxious.

    Well done in going out in it, you must have felt very self-concious - another tick of the list of achievements.

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Taxi - I'm proud of you!!

    Shaving must have taken some doing - but you controlled IT - IT didn't control you :A

    That first outing will have been the hardest, but again - you did it:T :T:T:T:T

    WIth that attitude you WILL beat the cancer, the mortgage and anything else life throws your way :p (I won't tempt fate by saying 'bring it on' though)

    I had a weekend with dh - generally pottering on Saturday but we went into Wales in the sunshine yesterday and called to Chester on the way home for something to eat. So I have had a really lazy day today - I think my busy week last week decorating at ds flat has caught up with me. A friend came round so we sat and put the world to rights over copious cups of tea and pieces of cake. Sometimes you 'just need to' :D

    Hope the next treatment isn't as bad as you might expect it to be - big hug

    Ditto! Well done taxi, that is always the hardest step the first time, but it will get easier.
