    Hahaha Love it! Scored a LOL from that! Thank you.

    Yes there is always tomorrow. I've bought two notebooks: one for planning and one for reflections.

    Planning - write list for the next day - tranferring things from the day before that could wait till tomorrow!

    Reflection - how do I feel at the end of each day of chemo

    Wish I could blame chemo brain for struggling to remember things but I haven't started yet!
