Hi Maureen,

Thanks for your sympathy.

It was the wrong meds that I couldn�t communicate about; the nutrition was because the right nutrition had to be ordered and hadn�t been. But luckily the damage done by the meds seems to have been temporary, thanks to the insistence of my daughter and my friends in getting them stopped in time. And the care on the HDU was as good as the care on the ward had been bad.

It�s so nice that you say we are all in this together smile When I read other postings I realise how lucky I have been so far with the cancer. But everyone is so cheerful - I need to learn from that !
