What about your thoughts on a hospice?
Have you now shelved that idea for now?
If you can remain in your own home, it will be better.
You could use your PIP for some help. Just some thoughts from me.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray
I'm not out of the woods yet being just halfway through treatment (it seems longer since it was February 8th I was first admitted to hospital, but I'm forgetting the radiotherapy I had done then), but at least I can see the light a bit. If things go bad then I'll be thinking of hospices again.The dizziness is probably brought on by the chemo side-effects or all the drugs I've been taking. Same goes for the stumbling around when I'm in the house or my awkwardness at walking outside. Still, I'm sleeping well and have an appetite - those are normally the first two things to go when I'm ill or am really upset about anything. And the Consultant seemed happy that he had good news to give. My first PIP payment, not including the backdated one they gave me, is on Monday coming.
I was up at 7:30 and should sleep well tonight; my chemo starts at 10 so I hope to be in bed by 9 or so listening to my podcasts.
I just got the new Stephen King book so may have a read of that. Right now I'm reading The Last Days Of The Romanovs - cheery stuff.

I do like Stephen King. You must let me know about it, please.

Tomorrow i go for my regular chemo; once it's done I'll have completed more than half the course including the Methotextrate treatment. I still wish that I didn't have to go into hospital for that again.

I thought about a stick too but don’t need one when I’m with hubby, it’s just if I’m out with my friends, although one friend did offer to let me link arms with her. Bless her! I guess men may get some strange looks if they did that lol!

Re: I've had my chest x-ray
Thank you both - I've actually got a stick, given to me by someone in hospital for arm exercises, don't think I need it quite yet, though.For some reason I overslept and must leave in about 25 minutes or so. Last time I was finished by 1:30 so hoping for something similar today.
