Hi all, I went to yoga this morning then to a pet shop where I bought old lady dog lots of treats 'I like those cheesy nibble things Mummy' she said 
Ash - bugger to having to stay in hospital, but hopefully you'll be out tomorrow and feeling more comfortable. Glad Dr Happy has helped with decisions (although why Dr W couldn't offer any assistance beggar's belief)
Can your parents bring you in some ear plugs so you can avoid another noisy night?
Copt - love that article - so true the 'yours fears are unfounded' rudeness really hit a mark with me, as that is exactly what DH does all the time.
malt - your DD's friends mum sound like a great source of support. I think it can really help to talk things over with someone who's at the same kind of treatment stage as you.
topsy - glad the scan is done, and good vibes to ned for her appointment later.
Gigs - my message thingy works. Hope you manage to get some sleep tonight - how are things with big Gig and school - any progress?
MAS coffee sound nice (bloods not so nice ) - does your next cycle start tomorrow?
NJ - it is hard - you almost feel as if you have to 'comfort' people as they deal with the news and details of your illness (that's how I felt anyway) and it's strain.
Waving to Smee and Sparkle xx
I try to avoid all those cancer memoir books, - I think they are probably constantly around, but you only notice them when you are DX and they seem to be constantly shoved in your face. A friend of mine's brother sent her a copy of Lance Armstrong's book when she was DX, - she sent it back
DD has a concert tonight (she's accompanying her opera singer chap in a music festival) she's v.nervous as he changed his programme at the last minute (Tuesday) and she's had to learn a really complicated 15 page Mozart thing in two days. She's having to ice her hand because it is so achy. And he was terribly vague about what to wear so she's worrying about how formal or otherwise she needs to be (i.e long or short dress).
All v. anxiety making.
Love to all xx
