    Hi Taxi,
    Yay for finishing the treatment. Will someone be able to go with you today? It may help you to feel more comfortable. I must admit I avoid our local town at weekends if I can - hate the crowds!
    Do what you can and don't beat yourself up for not doing enough. Take it slow and steady - build your stamina back up.
    Have a lovely 1st treatment free day!

    Had a lazy start to the day as didn't get up until 1.15pm !!!!
    Had a brew and woke myself up and got a cab to town(no way was I driving in and looking for parking).
    I picked up the aloe vera gel and the birthday cards then had a coffee outside the cafe in the cold and drizzle..lol..then picked some bits up from m and s and came home.
    That was enough for today...everyone stares as I have hardly any hair.

    Hi Taxi

    I've just been reading through your diary (not the whole thing as there are so many pages but enough to piece the story together). You are an inspiration to anyone battling this b@$¥d disease and how unfair to have it return. Hopefully this is just a setback and you have beat it now. A friend of mine has myeloma and her attitude is so positive I'm sure it helps and she's doing brilliantly so far, hair has grown back and she is back to herself again. I saw your post on my diary so you know I'm going through a hellish time with my OH at the moment. He has a long road ahead but you are proof you can survive it.
