Oh yes--I have a MacMillan nurse---guess what, another letter coming in January with appointment to see her!
And yes, I have spoken to the surgery--there's a 'liaison-worker' there for cancer patients who sees that my pain prescription is renewed when I need it.
I guess I try and keep as low a dose as possible, as infrequently as possible til the 'time comes when I shall need..........'

Actually, as I have a pre-paid certificate exemption, 'loading up' would halve the red wine bill!! laugh
