Well I'm happy to say we had a good weekend.
Saturday saw our morning jaunt to the cafe, though Mum refused to use her wheelchair to go to the cafe.
On the plus side she had phoned me at work on the Friday to tell me that her disabled badge had arrived.
After a slow walk and back to the cafe from the car park, we headed off to the park where I knew there was a brass band playing.
For this I made her get in her wheel chair, if not only for the fact you cant guarentee if there was going to be enough...
Yuk, and oh no! were my first reactions to finding my 'peter pointer' finger nail hanging off. Am not sure what to do once it off to protect my nail bed, any suggestions greatly received. Finished my chemo (3 FEC100 and 3 TAX) on 2nd July and wasn't expecting this!!

I haven't been on this site since my darling Ray passed over as I found it too hard.

Up to that point she didn't even feel unwell, it was so sudden. She had an op to remove all the cancer and they told her she was 'microscopically clean' and they would give her chemo just to mop up.
