Spoken to my friend who tells me not to worry but it is going to be a long day for us all. I'm concerned that he'll want to rush me when I reach home inbetween because I have a lot to think about. I at least have to collect my bank card.
Someone has just checked my meds and said she was confused as I'd had paracetamol and ibuprofen written up and why I didn't have them.
Tried to persuade friend to take me to sussex tomorrow but he said he'd rather get it all done in one day. At least his g/f is with us.
I hope the journey to Sussex goes ok

You only have to go in a pharmacy to ask for over-the-counter medication and they will more than likely depending on what you are buying ask if you are taking other any other medication.

Can't help that UJ. That's what the GP told us, I didn't invent it !
Your medical condition, age, drugs already being taken, and needs were not the same as Mums. Also, you are not considerably weakened by terminal cancer (I hope).
I should think these things make a difference for a start.
