    Long time no squeak!!!  

    I've been back to work now seven weeks which is mad, time has just wizzed by. Not commented much lately feel a bit weird really now the active part of my treatment has been completed (finished my RT 10th Sept) that I find myself just reading and not commenting on blogs.  My life has been changed forever by cancer and I'm not angry about that a lot of positive things have happened.  I love…

    Oh dear,

    Both kids back to school now, Grace into year 10 (starts her GCSE's) and James into the sixth form, I feel so old!!!!!

    Yuk, and oh no!  were my first reactions to finding my 'peter pointer' finger nail hanging off.  Am not sure what to do once it off  to protect my nail bed, any suggestions greatly received.  Finished my chemo (3 FEC100 and 3 TAX) on 2nd July and wasn't expecting this!!

    Thank you,
