Hi Carole,

You're not the first person to have this problem, I once read a research paper which said that patients forget on average 60% of what it said to them in a consultation. I usually write down all my questions beforehand and also write down the answers I get. Once or twice I've sat in the car after a consultation with my Oncologist and read my notes and thought "I don't remember her saying that!"

I'm not much of a needlework expert myself, but my wife does a lot of embroidery and really enjoys it.

Best wishes

Dave
