I also received a large package from Canada to “Migramainglund” which includes Levana’s stunning drawings and delightful letters and messages to me. I shall treasure them forever!
Today is a milestone. My final session in the Chemo suite until I resume in March. Anita warns me that she has to take an extremely talkative lady for a scan first. She picks me up early. She hadn’t exaggerated. The lady is pleasant enough but hardly pauses for breath regaling us with tales from her life. Her husband sits humbly on the back seat and appears quite mute. I jump out of my skin when he suddenly responds with three or four words when she mentions TV. Otherwise he is silent along with the rest of us. I find myself secretly wishing she had an off switch.
When we arrive at Chemo the car smells of old people and I am relieved to step into the fresh air. They have locked the back door because of the prevalent Norovirus which is a sickness bug that has spread throughout the country. Everyone has to go in through the main entrance and use antiseptic hand wash. We walk through the hospital and up to the suite with another patient who has been battling cancer for the last six years. He and I exchange stories. It is good to speak to someone who understands how upsetting it can be not even to be able to drink a glass of water. Hearing his struggle helps me once again see how lucky I am.
Some more pictures of our trip to Portsmouth.
