IF i need any more chemo (please no) then this will not be (cannot be) given until after the liver resection has been done:-/ for now i am just taking to positives (cept i might not make haywards party:(). any visitors will be welcome, will let you know what ward i will be on, have pre assessment on tuesday and going in early thursday morning. dont want to ramble on, but just want ot thank you all for your kind comments and your continued love and support:oops: onwards and upwards:)
