Hi Hazel,
Yes, I agree that constantly pushing our emotions down is exhausting and I do tend to read everything I can and I am probably one of the most compliant patients a doctor could have. I take everything literally even down to the suggestion that I read somewhere not to buy loose salad mix from the supermarket. I can't remember where I saw that but my husband who was a chef and very careful with how he prepares our meals thought that was going a little over the top. A good wash of the salad mix is all that is required - apparently. and I was relieved that the Cancer Nurse Consultant agreed with him. So you can see what this poor man is going to be dealing with. lol
Thank you once again for taking the time to talk to me and listen to my post.
