Normally the day after the treatment at the cancer clinic the side effects start to hit me and then really kick in after 36 hours. However this time today has been quite good - not perfect but better than usual so perhaps if I keep everything crossed the next few days will be tolerable.

I have never seen the Cancer Clinic so busy - all fifteen of the Units treatment booths were in use , both waiting rooms were full and in the large reception area newly arrived patients were crammed in as though it was rush hour on the Piccadilly Line. That is a worrying trend as most were newly diagnosed patients.

Still today has been quite good and I have put it to good use by listing on ebay some of the N Gauge Wagons that have been given to my Charity Wagon Project the aim of which is to raise some funds for the Cancer Unit as a way of saying thanks for all their treatment and support . The idea is to use the money for the smaller things that can make a difference to both patients and staff . For example a team of volunteers bring around trollies of tea, coffee ,soft drinks and biscuits for the patients undergoing treatment ,waiting for treatment or to see the consultants . The volunteers never have enough mugs or cups for everyone so one of the first things I want to do is to get them a set of probably 100 plus mugs which will make quite a difference to both them and the patients.
