Is that right? Did you really say that?

Hi there @youngdogmum...chin up sweetie pie. One positive thing from this shitfest, called the "journey"..(.shudder, how I hate that term), is that it sorts the wheat from the chaff. These offers such as "Pleeeeease, if there's aaaaanything I can do, just let me know", fall into the same category as "How lovely to see you, you must come around for dinner one day".....Yeah right...like you're going to ring up and say "Ohh hi there, it's me, I was thinking maybe Friday next week....for the dinner???" Bah...about as genuine as a cubic zirconia ring....looks kinda real, sparkles nicely...and worth shit. I wish I could send my golden carriage to take you, but unfortunately, it has turned into a pumpkin and we made friiters out of it and ate it. But seriously, I wish I could take you, but I can share this. I had my port put in in October 2016...still have it....under local anaesthetic (long story). I then had my first chemo using it about two hours later. It really wasn't that painful, just very uncomfortable and scary as I was awake. Apart from two very small scars. one on upper chest and one on my neck, it is hardly noticeable to others. Big (((hug)))...Ally.
