MAS How horrible to still be feeling poisoned. No need to apologise. We've all been there! I remember an irresistible urge to share the full gory painful details of my constipation with the Mums at the school gate who were telling me how "brave" I was during chemo. Perhaps think of the diarrhoea as a fast lane to getting it out of your system. Glad you are getting some work done though. I so agree with the importance of keeping things normal. In fact the whole experience does make normal feel special, hooray for the mundane and boring!! Sadly for my DD who at 16 has long stopped enjoying sharing a bus with all the snotty 11 year olds and inevitable mad person, I have never recovered the joy I took in doing the school run during chemo! I also have a policy of severely rationing bathroom cleaning activities, being a strange mixture of slattern and OCD so that I can tolerate mess but once I start cleaning the bathroom it can very easily end up with me cleaning corners with a toothbrush and emptying the Lakeland shelves of all those niche cleaning products for people who clean corners with toothbrushes.

at your GP. One thing that I hated about Cancerland was people assuming how you feel. I feel a bit that way about them wittering on about reconstruction every time I see them.
KK and gigs Looks like lots of us have miscarriage stories, I did all my infertility, miscarrying and anti natal at the Old Queen Charlottes hospital in Hammersmith during it's dying days, it was a great Women's / Maternity Hospital but they only had one surgical gynae ward for all the problematically pregnant, infertile, ectopic, incontinent, prolapsed and miscarried, it was a manifestation of the potential misery of being a woman (though without the Cancer). They didn't even have the sense to try and strategically arrange the beds. Most traumatic was being in a bed next to a devastated woman who had just had to have a huge operation for a horrific ectopic pregnancy with a much wanted child, and facing the possibility of being infertile as a result whilst I was in having my cervix sown up to keep my pregnancy, glowing with joy I had got this far this time. I had to ignore the doctors and get up to see No 1 DD in the day room because that would have really been rubbing it in. Still after what I saw there I have ALWAYS done my pelvic floor exercises.....
SR We had a family outing to Skyfall, we all loved it, indeed as we are off to HK at Christmas (we lived there very happily, so it is a fix ) DH has booked a side trip to Macau though I feel certain that casino was actually in a pond in Pinewood...
