My first chemo was fine, the 2nd knocked me out. Bastard crept up on me.
Got my 2nd on the 10th but 2 days before got to have a bastard covid test, hate them swabs right up my hooter 😂
With me, they gave me the swab to take home and I had to drop it off when I had my blood taken a few days before, if they didn't ring I just turned up. Mine was four hours in the chair, you're doing six so netflix will get a bashing :)

Nowhere near as bad as it sounds mate 👍
I have greatest respect for Rugby Union, they started it mid-way through the 19th century. Thankfully we grabbed it and turned it into a spectacle on 29th August 1895

I'm going back to work in three weeks. It'll take 11 weeks to be back to full time. I'm looking forward to it.

Congratulations, Vespa.
Not allowed near any real work, but lockdown screwed most of that anyway and two projects moved to Germany because of Brexit.

Going to work on video stuff which is new to me so should be fun.

I'm sorry to hear that. At least you'll be back at work and keeping yourself busy. What sector are you in? (If you don't mind me asking.)

I'm okay, I've signed up for a course on the condition I catch up with a year's worth of work. So I'm doing that atm.
