Hi KJB - thank you for the feedback. Interesting about the neck and shoulder pain - certainly I've read it can cause problems with hands/feet, circulation and skin issues. I already get neck and shoulder pain from the previous surgery/radiotherapy, so I also happen to know a really good specialist physiotherapist for it - although I no longer live 10 minutes away from her like I used to! But she is right near the actual treatment centre, so I am sure I can combine trips in one way or another.

I am sorry to hear he passed away. I am lucky the team here has kept me alive for 5 years so far, I'm hoping for at least the same again!
