Hello Tunesmyth, I thought I should check in about Cathy. The drug she is taking is almost worse than the illness, and the list of side effects covers several pages, from insomnia to agonising neuralgic pains to digestive problems. They come and go unpredictably and doctors can find no logic to them. She is keeping going, and so am I, but everyday life is a constant trial. I'd be grateful if she could be kept on the list for a while. In addition, of course, all this suffering is intended to ensure that the cancer does not return, so I think it would help her psychologically to add the phrase "and the cancer not return" at any convenient point. Thank you once more for organising this list and may your karma greatly benefit thereby! David
