I'm in the coffee shop at the garden centre whilst reading this! Wow. Following my first stage I got a little mobility scooter and could get there using it to meet friends and get out of the house. I can now drive or walk I'm pleasded to say. I'm under SMH and HWG depends what type of surgery you have. Emergencies are at SMH whilst electives at HWG so I have done both. My original surgeries were at the Chiltern though, same consultant. This is so weird I can't beleave it.
My surgeon dosnt tend to do regular bloods but goes on symptoms I am however having them done this time hence the anxiety. I hope they have lovely garden centres in Portugal. Lin x

I live in the country and the terrain is not suitable for a mobility scooter ... it's almost a nightmare with my husband maneuvering it! I've had a couple of falls outside ... and I can't blame drink ... shame! So unfortunately I stay on the inside looking out. At least it's good weather here as we don't really have a winter. They now have fabulous GCs here but nothing when we first came so I brought a lot from the UK.

I 1986 I had cancer and my pre-treatments and 10 years aftercare were at SMH and the op at Chiltern, a couple of years after they opened ... my room overlooked the golf course. Husband had an op at The Paddocks. I worked for a few years in High Wycombe!

I know about the anxiety ... 10 more days to go till my next go around. Let us know how you get on. Izabel xx
