Hi Richard

Well am sure you will not be wanting to do Lorry driving through your treatment, and your Insurance sounds Top Notch

I also Like you saying "Pick yourself up, dust yourself down, move on."
Am sure that works well.

Good Luck to you Both in the road to remission.

Hi Trish and Peter

Well its going to be hard keeping away from folk I remember having them in my late 30's and I had to go to Dr's and he used to check on them I asked why I could come into waiting room and sit with Pregnant woman, kids and old Folk but not go to work (he put me on sick) he just said I need to keep an eye on you?? Doh.

Hi Dai

As I do I hate (though we have to) have my bloods taken every four months now I think?, then wait four days before I get confirmation that all is well, its not a good feeling.

I hope you can continue with your treatment and all picks up.

Stay Well and Fit

Take care and stay well
