Well, I was right and chemo begins again on Monday, with another different drug, which means the hospital every day for 5 days, which would be ok if it wasn't 25 miles each way! then 2 weeks off. CT scan after 3 treatments, to see what is happening, which means book it after 2 so they can see me before 4! I'm really getting the hang of this now. We went to see the oncologist on Thursday then came away to see friends and make the most of time, but after going out yesterday I feel too shattered...
It seems just when you're feeling on top there's a dark shadow above full of self pity waiting to burst.
Everyone around me says i'm the most positive person they know, and I often wonder if they are just very unobservant or whether i'm the worlds' greatest actress!!
I'm really good at saying 'I'm ok thanks', in reply to my wellbeing as I've done this since I can remember. Being British means i need to take a university degree in how to say what I really...

It's so strange that since Gary left me, time either seems to stand still or speed up.
Can it already be three weeks since Gary left me just a week before Christmas?
So much seems to have happened since then. Christmas is a blur, and seems so far away. I know I spent it with my grandchildren, but I remember little that happened.
I didn't mark the New Year, just went to bed at my normal time after taking a sleeping pill.
This morning I listed the things I need to do today, and was about...
