I read this today, and it sums up how I feel, really well.
"A thousand words won't bring you back, I know because I've tried,
Neither will a million tears, I know because I've cried,
They say memories are to treasure, to some that may be true,
I never wanted memories, I only wanted you"
Yes, it's me. I'm back..... But am I sure I want to be? I tried and tried to log on with my details when we went over from Whatnow to here. Alas no joy, the recover password thingy wotsit system just didn't work. So in desperation I started a new account with this slightly different name. First task online was to send a pm to admin from within the site asking for my original details to be sent so I can use my old account and dump this one. To date that pm appears to have disappeared into the ether...

Its been a bit of a quiet week/weekend really. Since having my treatment on Tuesday I have had a funny head, not quite a headache, its hard to describe. I used to get it when I was on Herceptin before so I know its normal but it makes me feel a bit poo. I was so bored yesterday with the blasted rain just did a bit of housework and made some mince pies.

Can anyone shed any light on this? I have been looking on the net but can find very little information on this subject.
I have tried to leave messages for people and nothing ever seems to work on this site since they messed with it.
I was along visiting Dad today and I went and spoke to the nurse, she said that because dad was managing to receive his medication orally he could do this at home, they know he wants to get home and they say they are doing the same things that could be done at home and he would be comfier.

What gets me is that since they took him off his IV fluids at the start of the week he has steadily went downhill again, he is sleeping all the time...
