Back in November my mum had surgery to remove a section of bowel, in January I went with her on a Saturday to a hospital in London (UCHL) 3 hour round trip on tube (NO parking) for a CATSCAN, and went back on the Monday she was told it was cancer but small and no problems.

Today she went with my sister and was told another section of bowel has to be removed as it is cancer and their is something near her Pancreas and thyroid, so need 2 trips to hospital for surgery.

The problem is the surgeon whose the best man in the field only works at the Royal Free Hospital in London and its 1-1/2 hours by car to get there.

So visiting hours are going to be a bitch, as it will require afternoons off work, but who cares, it for my mum.

Thinking of you :tu: I back in addenbrookes now sorting my kidneys out.

So for the last 3 or 4 years, I've been buying a 4 weekly ticket for the buses around Stevenage, which if you bought through the Arriva m ticket app or online you got a 10% discount off. Went to purchase a new one yesterday as my previous one expired yesterday. Only to find that with no publicity about it, Arriva have scrapped the 10% discount. Got some guff about how it was a difficult decision, and that the extra money would go towards improving standards of travel for passengers. Which I can just about accept, but still find it disgusting they failed to publicise the fact that the discount was being axed.

Yes..and all the rest..the problem is that you still have to endlessly supply the same info over and over..

I hate dealing with insurance companies and I've only had 2, the current wanted proof of 19 years NCB, which I finally got.

Now 25 years NCB I got it down to £260, it wouldn't surprise me if I was being penalised for being single with no kids.

I did read somewhere last year that it can save money in the long run if you protect the NCB. Not sure if it actually does save money in the long run though.

Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since I lost my voice. No other syptoms to speak off really, but think the glands in my neck are swollen so think a visit to doctor is in order. Sigh. Been away from doctors since before Christmas.

Yes you certainly need to see the doctor Mark as its important that he checks around your throat just to see if there is anything untoward.
