  • Hi tiger cub,  nice to have an update.   Seems like you are suffering in this heat.   It was like this last year after our chemo and he suffered terribly.   You poor thing I expect it's like you've eaten a vindaloo curry and had six pints, but your's not self inflicted,  keep us up to speed and hopefully you'll feel a little better soon.  X

  • Hi Tigercub,

    I hope you don't mind, but I have to thank you for the giggle in all of that (blow-torch bum).  Awful to experience I know but I always find it helps to use silly names at least!  (I hope no-one is offended but I call my cancer 'faulty boob disease').

    Totally with you on the heat!  I live below 50-degrees north, when I'm designed for 30-degrees north, so add in having to stay covered up, aaaaaargh!!!!!

    Still it sounds like you're staying quite upbeat and managing along with all of this.  Keep up with the rest and the liquids, hope both of them bring relief.  Let us know how you get on at the doc on Friday.

    LJ (sending you big perspiring hugs!)
