We've been told November is best. We received our voucher for the injection today but it's different here....we have to collect the injection from the chemist and take it to a nurse to have it. However, my husband has permission to do his own and mine .....type 1 diabetes has few advantages but injection experience is one...
Thanks Lacomtekp
I just want to be careful that I don't throw SEs into temper tantrum . Got to organise Type 2 Annual check as well . I'm lucky and control with diet and excercise but think steroid diet might be getting involved .

Happy Birthday and !!
And great news !
Having my flu shot on 23rd, and cardiology checkup on 20th. Still waiting for mammogram appointment - emailed BCNs and had it returned undeliverable to both of them? Guess I'd better try and find a phone number then.
Work a bit calmer, as office manager on holiday.
Outdoor archery is done for me for this year. Went out with a bit of a whimper really, but never mind. Time to go play at 20yds for a few months
Hopefully some sleep tonight................

Just thought I would say hello to anyone awake. I’ve been asleep but have awoken and realised today’s the day I find out my fate so I’m not sure I’ll get to sleep again now
Wide awake for ther last hour wondering if I can ask to delay chemo from today. I've low (red on the hospital computer) red blood and neuts, sore mouth ulcer from last week, sore, blurry eyes, headache and upset stomach. I told oncologist about this and zmy chest feeling tight and ECG she sent me for yesterday was possibly abnormal with indication of widened left aorta.
I just don't feel up for it, and annoyed with myself for not being direct about not wanting it yet at yesterday's meeting... but don't want to really make myself ill this time out of politeness!
