    So back again.... Auckland District Health Board miraculously found me on their computer system so the first radiation appointment happened this lunchtime. My daughter Muirie took me there... I think maybe because she knew damn well that I wouldn't show up unless she took me. Anyway, now I have done it once, I have promised commitment to seeing through the other 29 appointments. It wasn't actually too bad at all...…

    Hmmmm my last blog just disappearred into cyberspace so I guess I have to do my rant about Auckland District Health Board again.

They are the only organisation here that gives a shit about me. The Cancer society doesn't even want to know me even though I would…

    Hey all, I am waiting for my devastatingly handsome youngest son to come and visit me. He has apparently been on a bus for the past hour but doesn't know exactly how to find me here. I haven't seen him for months now: there is no ongoing crisis happening and I am being totally boring and the old mother again.. The other son showed up for a couple of hours... he is good company and very very funny and witty. He has…
