Spouse went with me once but that meant that two people's time were being
used. I preferred not to have company so that he could get on with other
things.

He would have done if I'd needed it. If I'd been alone the ironing would not
have been done - and so what?

I was one of the minority for whom it had no effect on my fatigue levels.

Because we're all so different, our cancers are different and we respond
differently to different treatments it's very difficult to give appropriate
advice as to what to expect ancd how to cope with it. Sufficient unto the

I did ask lots of questions in the ward, eventually the sister dumped Susan
Love's Breast Book on my belly and told me to read it. I did. That was the
best advice I ever had.
