A year ago the first chemo. The first of three, which then became six, which then became seven. I don’t have a suitable photo, but I found this one, taken on my way back from Milan by car. I was just tired. Very amazed that it has no side effects.
Today I would like to tell how I felt yesterday, over two glasses of wine. I live in London and I had an appointment with my “fake cousin” (we have a very strange relationship) French by birth, but English by choice. It had been a while since our last meeting
