    Hi there bali, thanks for the positives.  Like so many of us out there i'm going into unchartered waters.  Im pretty good at talking so i'm sure i.ll get to know some other patients tomorrow, and we can swap our cancer stories which i am sure will help us.  The nursing staff will be on hand to help and assure us as well.  So already i'm not so nervous.  Nice to here from you.      Darter

    nice to here you are a west Hull man Graeme, we might make a proper egg chaser supporter of you after all.
