But ive booked to go to Cheltenham Races on the 17th Patricks Day will I be able to go, my wonderfull surgeon said to come for a check up a couple of days before i fly and if I had no complications I could go.
I did go had tickets to Owners and Trainers Bar where there was plenty of chairs and no bumping into crowds my Hubby had a ball and we came home the following day.
My next apointment was about my nodes 6 were taken 5 came back clear and 1 had a micro something so its been sent to America for a test that isnt availble hear or England.
