When I had chemo in 2012, I went right off coffee and chocolate - just repulsed by the idea. A few moths after the chemo finished,
my liking for the aforementioned aliments returned! Bizarre, I know...

Yes! Unfortunately tastes change. Also I just cant think why water, should be affected, but hey ho. All part part and parcel?

Had a visit down to the hospital today. Started the third cycle this week as well. Not doing too bad. Have been put on the list to see the cardiologist. The waiting game has begun!

Now the headline

Gene Cernan, last man to walk on Moon, dies aged 82

really does make me feel old.

we acquired 2 young cats about 5 years ago.

and then I worked out what my age would be if they reached age 20......and wished I hadn't........


re Cal's post, I'm sure I recall being allowed to watch some key moments of the Apollo 8 and 11 missions during school hours.

And Michael Jackson a few years earlier.

It's when you start to think the judges are looking younger that you need to start worrying.

I'm finding that with various doctors I've been seeing!

My father who saw lots of hospital doctors in the year before he died often used to refer to "young doctors" which could have meant any of them.

I think I know how he felt!

I better say that whilst I'm on here, from next week the 'heavy duty' part of my treatment schedule will begin next Sunday. I expect I will, undoubtedly feel rather rough and goodness knows what else. I will be visiting the Royal Marsden, in Sutton Surrey. So there will no doubt be times when I won't be on here. Give you Forumisters P & Q from me for a while, perhaps?:)

M & S do a v good ham & egg pie (proper - shaped like a brick). Love at first sight! The girl at the checkout was gorgeous and had a badge - 'IN TRAINING!'. I was keen impress & being incredibly witty asked if she was 'IN TRAINING!' for a half marathon.

Her reply was brilliant: "Can I get someone to help you carry that pie to your car, sir?". The lady behind said "She turned you over there..."

My dentist is so young, she actually has a brace! My immediate thought was "Physician; heal thyself!", before it occurred to me that, in having a brace, that was precisely what she was doing.

"P&Q" was always something I was told I ought to mind when I was a kid - never took any notice then, and the Forum in your temporary absence will be a much drearier place, Bbm. Hoping that the Heavy Duty" both does what it's supposed to do for you, AND that it does it in a more gentle way than you are bracing yourself for. In the meantime, before Sunday, you make as much ruddy noise as you like on the Forum! (Go on: take advantage - say something rude about Mozart whilst I'm in the mood! )

Thanks Ferney! I may just do that! :) I have to say though, much as I am not very keen on Mozart's music, there are a very few of his works I like and also with certain recordings, imo you just cannot ignore, because of the artistry involved in the music making, above all else. After all, it is the music that we strive to appreciate.
