Tomorrow we fly to the UK for Ron's mum's funeral on Thursday. A lot of the family will be gathered together and I think that a lot of people are going to be upset by the change in Ron since they last saw him. He hasn't been very good today and, even to me, looks ill.I have a feeling that his dad has been minimising the problem to his sister etc and it is going to be very hard on both Ron and myself explaining. His next chemo session should have been Thursday but it has been put back a week(the chief infermiere, who has to administer the chemo in home, can only do it on a Thursday as it takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours of her time). Having it done at home is much more confortable and Mme Bouteneigre the infermiere(nurse) told Ron that she was treated by the same oncologist 10 years age for breast cancer and she thinks that he is a good doctor. My blood pressure is very high (no suprise there) and I must try exercise and less wine to lower it. Trouble is, if I cut out the wine I might need sleeping tablets. No win situation.
