    Oh dear .... at least *something* is going to happen soon to treat you, but still ... wish they could've got their act together sooner. How you doing?

    Thanks everyone I'm certainly not looking forward to having chemo again and feel sick at the thought of it.I also have to have it every week rather than every 3rd week.
    I'm tired this morning and will probably go back to bed again shortly.JJ and I had a busy weekend.
    We didn't go to Farmer Parrs in the end as it was quite wet and cold.We went to town instead where I picked up some bandannas ready for losing my hair,went in the toy shop and got him a couple of toys,went to Nandos for tea and then onto the teddy bear workshop that had just opened where he made himself a dog with a man city kit and named him Kruger....the queues in there were horrendous as it had only opened the day before...he really enjoyed himself then we came home and he played with his toys whilst I collapsed on the couch exhausted but his happy face was worth it.
    Yesterday,we went to the WOW show and we both really enjoyed it.The weather was dry but cold so after the show we popped over to South Pier where his Dad,3 uncles and 1 aunt all work so that he could go on the rides which kept him occupied then we had fish and chips and walked home...my back was in agony but was worth seeing his happy little face.
    His mummy finished work at 8pm and picked him up and normality resumed.
    I plan on resting the next few days as feel quite drained.

    Very relieved to hear that they've eventually sorted out a treatment plan. Hope it goes smoothly now.

    I'm glad the weekend went so well, but you *sound* drained, actually - hope you get back to bed and rest. Sleep well.
