My daughter Holly (7) seems to have got a pragmatic streak from somewhere, we told her about Hodgkins after tea this week, Lee was worried how she would take it. First question "can I catch it" answer from me "no" then we got " that's OK then" from Holly.
Two days later she asked Lee what we would do for food if I did not travel to get money (my stock answer when she complained about my travel) now she is reassured we can eat, and she will not get it, so back to negoiation over how many spoons of vegetable she has to eat to get her sweet. Perfect... in a funny way.
Signed up for the experiemental trial today at the hospital, the nurse missed the vien and I ended up with matching sets on each arm. I had some time to kill so visited the cancer support Maggies centre which was great, light and airy with really good libary and volunteers so I may sign up for Tia Chi classes and some other courses. After some work conference calls in the early afternoon we, more emotionally, visited lawyers with Lee to take care of all the worst case stuff which was a bit sobering, but good to get out of the way.
Off to watch the Rugby tomorrow with the semi retired Prof of cancer research in Edinburgh, John is an old friend, and this is a regular fixture, but I will shamelessly trade insight for belgian beer and we will both enjoy the deal. Then looking forward to a good curry which I love but apparently will not like for a few months. Sunday to Wednesday will be detox in preparation for chemo so I will need to be good.
Dot sent me sea bands for the nausea, her experience as a cancer nurse is proving very valuable to prepare us for the first day on wednesday.
By for now

Hi Brenda,
Glad you like the site, Rugby was fantastic but I was only watching it on TV like you. Jonathan will be pissed as the English were in good shape, braveheart spirit pulled it off. Curry was great at a new veg curry house with my friend Julie.
John was very reassuring about the treatment and he knows Mike my consultant well (and lots of folks who have been on the same trip and are still in good shape)
Interior design tip of the week is make up your own ceramic tiles for the kitchen, we made some last week for the new kitchen and got them today they are great.
Cheers for now
Gerry
