    Since my last post, I've made a lot of mistakes. First I thought I was finally over my cancer experiences - wrong! Then I thought I no longer needed to come here an put my thoughts and feelings down - even more wrong! But the biggest mistake was turning my back on my lovely February Valentines.

    My oncologist insisted that I had a Doppler Leg Scan to rule out DVT. When I had cellulitis, my legs were very red and firm. I had that test today. No sign of any blood clots in either leg. Another tick to my list.

In two weeks time I will see my Oncologist, so If I haven't had them by then I will ask her about them.

    It feels rather odd today. It is three weeks since my last chemo session, and usually I would be at the oncology clinic having my blood test in preparation for Thursday's session. So the fact that I don't have to go to see the oncologist, or have a blood test, feels odd. 

    I don't have to see my oncologist until 16th July, but before that I have to go to the Bone Denistometry Department on 26th June, to have:…
