Thanks Cal x
It's 20 miles to Southampton hospital from here, a 40-mile round trip is pretty tiring, especially when it was every day for 5 weeks' worth of radiotherapy. Then again, you go there and do see the same team etc each time, and I've usually only had to go once or twice a year.
The hospital here is new, and lovely, and at least they could do the blood tests and liver scan. Trouble is the machines they use (eg for the bone scan) cost such massive amounts, they need to be used full-time
