Morning malt We will keep you distracted. I was in a real state the day before first chemo, upset and angry, had read up on all known side effects and wound them up into a melodramatic "chemo is going to wreck my life". Very silly,as you can tell from the rest of the chemo gang once you get one out of the way you get in the rhythm, and enjoy your good weeks, and from the rest of the Tamoxigang, life very much goes on afterwards. It is very hard to tell if chemo actually did have any long term side effects, aside from those associated with menopause which I am quite sure saved my life. Everybody gets older. Plenty of my friends appear to have started suffering from chemo brain, or senior moments as we prefer to call them. And two friends are suffering from the same low bone density as me, one as a result of a spontaneous early menopause and one because she is naturally very thin. In retrospect I think of it as six months of bad hangovers that were soon over and left me to get on with my life. The main side effect is the friends who still twelve years later head tilt and do the meaningful "How are you". 
Actually very impressed at how everyone is getting on with their cycles, so far side effects seem much better managed than when I was treated, we weren't given steroids, sickness meds or automatic anti biotics. They don't even give the A we were treated with now because of the side effects. And our experience is probably the basis of all the myths.
gigs yeah to getting out for dinner, are you still feeling nauseous from the pain meds? 
of looking at cityscape.
Am off to meet friend and her lovely DD over from US and show them London Town. Doing Hampton Court today, DD apparently desperate to see it, wonder if that is "The Tudors", if so may be disappointed by Fat Henry
