I,m up at this time because I needed a pee rather than a spew. I still feel weird rather than nauseous - that's obviously the chemo doing its work - hooray!
On our arrival at the ward we bumped into the Ward Auxiliary whom I knew from ten years ago when I was last there. She recognised me and we had a quick chat. shortly after which Maria and I were presented with tea, coffee a sandwich and a yogurt.
Eyebrows were raised slightly by others there which just goes to show that networking is everything, and always be nice because one day it will be returned.
One of the things on offer whilst having your chemo was a foot massage. It was provided by a volunteer from FORT a charity based at St Mary's Hospital. Check out the link below:

Of course I didn't have to be asked twice. It was wonderful and soothing and I highly recommend it to you if you ever get the chance.
They also offer Indian Head Massage which is Brill. I've had it before as part of a barber's package in India (spookily) or Pakistan when I was in the Andrew.
The package was: Haircut, hot towels, shave, and Head Massage along with a coke or a tea all for around ten rupees (50pence), fantastic value! For those who've never been shaved by a barber with a cut-throat it is an experience you simply must try. The closeness of the shave is incredible and nothing grows for about three days - fantastic!
Any how enough of this fiddle faddle I want to say something about Jade Goody and will hot foot it to do so in another post.
see you there
Steve
Just to add to your last note Steve about your shave with a cut-throat. I was with you that day, in Karachi, Pakistan and he was a BLIND barber. I skipped on that one....
