Swanney: Would sir care for a starter? Some garlic bread perhaps?
Renton: No, thank you. I'll proceed directly to the intravenous injection of hard drugs, please.
I couldn't help thinking of this scene from Trainspotting today; it's been a veritable banquet of intravenous drugs, the main courses being - since they still don't know the primary site - a general-purpose double whammy of docetaxel and cisplatin. I can't remember the exact order, but it started with a savoury course of saline...
On Monday 17 Sept I ran a temp, was admitted to a ward in the cancer centre and was told theyd need to keep me for a couple of days while they hunted down what was wrong. they ruled out chest infection, urine infection and every other infection.... took loads of bloods then as i refused canulation meant they had to investigate why my port had never given blood and was now refusing to take meds/saline.
problem solved by some very determined and caring nurses - even if at every meeting they said patient...
Although dry today it was a very grey and dark dawn today and it didn’t look promising at all. I didn’t have any plans for today, sat on the computer and sorted emails and messages out, a lot of work to catch up on. We decided to go to Wincheap to buy dog food and a toy for him so when we were ready off we went. The road were empty not a lot of traffic which is unusual so it was a pleasant trip.

and by that I mean my second attempt to get 5 mins to write before I hear little voices(and big voices) looking for 'Mammy, I need,,,' and 'Mammy I want....'

So basically, I'm 40yrs old and have 5 children, with 4 who range from 4yrs...
Well here goes my first ever blog post......at last. Its something I have been meaning to get round to doing. Even though life is very busy and hectic right now keeping a record of what life is like right now seems very important. Its not the year I had planned. My youngest started school in September and this was meant to be the year I returned to work among many other things. But fate intervened and a breast cancer diagnosis put a lot of things on hold.
I told you about the hearing aid down the Toilet . Today another disaster.
I was getting stuff out the back box on the van. As I walked round the back I walked into a really thick clingy Cobweb. I was pulling it out of my hair and off my face. It was like elastic. Out the corner of my eye I saw this big brown striped spider running along my shoulder. Panic.
So what did I do. I dropped every thing, struggled to rip off my jumper.
What else came off. Yep you’ve guessed it. my glasses flew...
Another wet day Just got back from walking louis soaked again.
