Hi again,
Gosh responses already - that is impressive! Christine - must admit a few tears in my eyes when I read your bit about giving time to myself. Most of the "me" time is on my computer - playing Scrabble etc - until I stray away and read yet more about this hellish disease.
Sally - good to find another contact from U.K> Yes - there has not been much choice - either of hospital or treatment.
Good luck both of you and look forward to chatting again soon.
Kitty
