@craggyrat wishing you all the best with treatment. Be kind to yourself and ask for help and encourage those around you to ask for help too. When DH had cancer and needed a lot of care for about three months I couldn't have held down my job and looked after my dying monther and cared for DH without a lot of help. DD was doing her assessments/non-exams that were worse than exams (cancelled GCSEs at the same time too) I found people really loved helping too. They were more frustrated at not doing anything.
I wasn't expecting DD to be given information on her room before she arrived but she found out today that whilst she has a small room it is one with a sink, lots of storage and a fridge. It is in one of the prettier looking buildings and about five minutes roll out of bed to her faculty when not having supervisions in college. She is delighted. I have just ordered some wipeable, cut to size removable lining for the shelves under the sink as looking at the helpful pictures the JCR have put together (all 700 plus pages of room, bathroom and kitchen pictures of all the very very different rooms!) the shelves are rather grotty but nothing a cover-up won't solve.
The JCR Freshers committee have apparently being doing all sorts of welcoming things on their group chat including word of the day, reserving fresher event tickets and answering questions. It is so kind of them to be taking the time out of their days to do this.
