27/8/09 Well on my Birthaday I have received my appointment to Dr Cominios Chemo Clinic for Monday 7th Sept so I’m in and Chemo will start then in 2 weeks time. MyMcmillian nurse has said a Holiday would be Beneficial once the drain has been taken out on the 9th Of Sept so without hesitation I’m going to Shepton Mallet to the Motorhome Show and then and Warren Farm Dorset to see my friends of the MHF which have been so very good to me sending me gifts and making dates to come down and staying at Canterbury Aires on the 11th and we are alll going to dinner in town. Its funny but they have made so exciting and Bill has been showering with pressies in the post this week. I have a special friend who suffers with Cancer and we have been keeping in contact and buoying each other up with lots of Emails. We both are so very lucky to have so many lovely friends. Well we are away I’m just going to Swalecliffe 3 miles down the road on the seafront with the Kent MCC. Some of them will be off to Italy where I was all booked to go and then this happened. But life is lovely at the moment and as within one week the Government have paid out Industrial Injury it means we have no money worries, every little helps as they say, and we have been getting lots of jobs done so we can concentrate on me through the next few months. I haven’t heard yet from the Solicitor but I expect she has a lot of checking first before she can take my case to court to claim from Rays employers but Ray will chase her next week to see where she has got to. Although It seems Paper had Asbestos in andI worked at a Sugar bag company in Snodland for 3 months in 1960 so I might have a claim in my own right. You don’t have to prove where you worked only that you have worked with known Asbestos producing Companies. I have now applied for a Blue Badge as I do not need parking worries when having Chemo as at times I might feel bad. We do Park and Ride when we go to The hospital and I’m amazed that other patients haven’t thought to do that but why fight to get a place at the hospitals where parking is an Impossibilty I will keep my Diary up as I travel through those day’s ahead –anyone know where you can get good wigs. mavis
