We’d had no post and, therefore, no presents delivered for a week. Radiotherapy delayed after lots of to-ing and fro-ing and pacing up and down when we got a message saying “Don’t worry! There’s a six week window from the end of your last chemo.” We’re already in week 7. Then we got another message saying “Don’t worry! A delay won’t affect your type of cancer”. The...
