Treats in store

These are things I'm looking forward to when treatment is finished.....

• Return of the taste-buds - mulled wine and mince pies tasting as they should (Christmas is coming).
• Hair growing back - thicker and even curly!
• Holidays in the sun - or at least further than a couple of hours drive from Nottingham City Hospital
• Running, swimming and going to the gym; I actually miss these things. (The gym has promised me a personal trainer when I return.)
• Fingernails growing back. Yes they're knackered too!
• Going to gatherings - Christmas is coming.
• Cinema trips - only been once while on chemo and had to go early afternoon when the place was empty.
• Skin rejuvenating - chemotherapy dries it out and bits are peeling off.
• Ditching the thermometer, and with it the paranoia
• Having a massage -  banned during treatment because it stimulates lymph glands.

Well Halloween weekend is nearly over and not one trick-or-treat-er. What are we going to do with all those Quality Streets?
