Big box, little box.....modified ecstasy 'attacks blood cancers'

I just hope that I will be around to see all this research come into fruition. And possibly be part of the research. It's amazing what all these clever scientists and medical researchers are discovering. May the funding for this continue.  Read more here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-14572284


Had another busy weekend.  Friday afternoon saw me and Mat at UCH where I saw my consultant and received a dose of pamidronate (bone strengthener).  Pretty dull as I was on my own for most of receiving my dose (through very s-l-o-w IV drip) but I was pleased that all is OK regarding my tests and progress. I don't need to see my consultant again for another 3 months which is good.  


Yesterday was spent having fun with Amy and Fraser by way of visiting Japanese garden stockists, drinking at The Wiremill which was very nice and going fruit and veg picking at 'Garsons' in Esher.  It was very cool visiting each field of crops and deciding whether to pick or not but not so cool towards the exit where they had the 'fruit and veg gestapo' in force.  


I know they may have had a few problems with dishonest folk taking more than their fair share of fruit and veg and not paying for it, but to do car boot and bag searches was a little OTT!  It wouldn't surprise me if they introduced one of those mirror contraptions to search underneath cars and do full body searches in the future... 


Dinner was at Simply Thai restaurant in Teddington where the food was yet again delicious but they could really do with one more waiter working.  Less stress for everyone!  Patria are you listening?!


Today was spent at Scott and Lucy's where we had a delicious lunch in the sun and it was good to catch up with them and the adorable Alex. A great end to the weekend.  


Why are weekends so short and the week so long?
