My neutrophils are 1.1 so just one month's ibrance prescribed. And I have no option but to be here for blood test and pill pick up. There is no option to do this in Scotland when I visit my partner. So I have three weeks to enjoy life! Now I know what my savings will be used for, flights to return to Sussex for medical appointments!

No news on CA15-3, I have to wait til end of week. He was kind and understanding but clearly the system is inflexible . When I said it wasn't very joined up to enable my GP to access info he didn't comment.

Well at least I don't need to worry about my GP giving my letrozole early as I'll be here anyway.

Hey ho, I'll work on acceptance mode.

Thanks ladies for all your support. At least I feel ok. And if the rain stops I'll do more walking.

Carolyn This self advocating and trying to maneuver withing the system is so complicated and confusing. Congratulating you on your steadfastness in doing so. Congratulating on caring for your respite-relaxation time while doing so. I appreciate your example. Helps here.
