    Oh, did you have one of those nice wind up radios instead?

    Mr TS is on his second one of those, think the first one broke due to over use. :eek:

    Good evening:). (And goodnight again soon.)

    Latest state on the M list - I'm now halfway through (in terms of the number of pages checked), but I seem to have become hyperactive with the pen on the 6 or 7 pages still to check:(:) - so may be far more items still to go.

    It's mainly some more of the chilled section, and the usual ones that get left till later:( - the frozen products, cleaning and dishwasher, toiletries and baby foods. Also I'll go through the fresh meat more than I can at the moment and whether other items on the '3 for £10' meat & fish mix are worth it in terms of how much (or little!) you get.

    Okay - I'm not going to get drawn into staying way past my bedtime:eek::rotfl::D for tonight - if I start checking who's replied I'll be here all through the night - so I am logging out straight away (I want to converse with you all, but the time has beaten me (again:() to it). Goodnight!!:D:cool::o:rotfl::rotfl::):):wave::j

    :eek:

    :cool: TS, so many different comments went through my head, most I could not post. Perhaps you should, as a couple, come up with a way that the radio isnt needed so much in the bedroom. :cool:

    Evening all :wave:

    Thanks for the support again guys :A

    Have got my head around it a little more now. Spoke to the nurse this morning and let her know how upset I was about the whole situation. She didn't know any different than she'd told me already... Loving the communication :cool:

    I think, as Enterprise said, it's basically all down to interpretation. The scan doesn't show for definate either way whether the cancer is active. The positive I have to take from that is that we've obviously dealt with a good amount of it already :) I'd certainly want to err on the side of caution though and totally agree with the 'we have to assume and treat as if it is active'.

    I may well have gone for the radiotherapy option anyway, this has just made the decision easier and sped everything up. Am hoping we'll be all done by baby H's 1st birthday. Is DHs bday on the same day so will be good to have a great big party.

    From what they told me yesterday, I shouldn't have so many side effects as with the chemo. Maybe just sore skin, sore throat, cough and some tiredness.
    They said I should be fine to drive myself to and fro. It's 100 mile round trip each day so will be relying on the Elite to find some good glitches to help save me some extra pennies. We won't qualify for help with travel expenses as I'm getting full sick pay at the moment. I've had a few people offer to take me if I can't manage the journey or want some company so will take things as they come.

    My sister has let her work know the situation so they don't put her down for any overtime. So as long as I get the afternoon appts I've requested we should be fine for childcare. Unlike the scans, I won't have to stay away from them afterwards so will be able to go straight home.

    I'm really enjoying reading about the Elite fat club :p Glad my flab has begun to shift a bit. Have a pair of jeans I fit in comfortably again now :j Good luck to you all
