QueenKong, I sympathise with the transport situation. I tried to be independent and catch the bus but ended up using the Cancer Volunteer Driver service Christine mentioned. It was interesting meeting fellow patients and conversation never flagged during the 40 minute drive. I found I had to have back-up if there was a day they couldn't help me but even that worked out better than I dared hope.

Pity about the cold and hope it clears up soon.
