    Mum has her next appointment with Dr Mehta tomorrow morning and then we'll nip up to the chemo ward for mum to have her bloods done before her chemo on Friday.  I think Dr Mehta will be quite pleased with how she's doing although he told her not to bother having an X-ray, like she normally has, this time so he won't really know whether there is any more shrinkage.  He said last time he was happy enough that…

    We've chatted about the possibility of us going down to London at half term to take in a couple of shows, very expensive but something that we both love and that doesn't take too much out of mum.…

    Mum slept until 11.30am this morning.  I was up by 9am did two loads of washing and sorted out some travel insurance for my aunt and uncle who are going to Arizona in March for a month. 

    I had agreed months ago to film, edit and produce a DVD of a pantomime at a local theatre and today was the day.  I hate pantomimes and after the way I've been feeling it was the last thing I wanted to do but a promise is a promise.…
