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 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.
