Morning G!
Your phone calls have been really appreciated! :blom: My next chemo is due on June 20th. Today I go for the first set of blood tests to see how I am coping. One of the areas the chemo attacks is the bone marrow which is why the immune system becomes compromised but I am feeling strong this morning with my tea in hand and the obligatory dry biscuit!
As for alcohol, I have not touched a drop can you believe....even the thought makes me feel queezy :rofl:
My diet has consisted of plain omlette, jacket potato, beans on toast, cheese and tomatoes. I eat six small snacks/meals a day. I have really enjoyed the nut mixes and dried fruits. I also am eating yogurt each day. I cannot deal with anything spicy at the moment or anything rich. It's plain, plain, plain and I am feeling great.
Will let you know when the books arrive. I am looking forward to taking time out to read....a rare luxury for me.
:thx:

Sue,
You have a way with words. A beautiful way, and I've always enjoyed reading your thoughts on life.
I guess this is just another journey you have to make and I look forward to being there with you, and the rest. In an odd kinda way. Albeit a close 6000miles and a keyboard away.
There is inspiration to be found in the coming pages - of that I am sure. humour, laughter, fun.. and a little sadness I expect too.
I can't promise to reply to all of your posts, nor will I try. I will, however, read it, digest it and then get in touch. Sometimes on here - mostly just 'being there'. And the odd recipe adustment thrown in too
We'll do cocktails again.. proper ones: One's the doctors don't reccomend, yet drink copious amounts of too. [SIZE="1"]Or maybe thats just the whole S.A.T.C vibe here in the UK right now [/SIZE]LOL!
As always and forever in my thoughts, prayers and good wishes for the times ahead
G
