No one wants to spend the longest day of the year in a chemo suite - still less do they want to be detained there for an age whilst someone checks on the implications of an earlier blood draw figure. But Alice was brave and steadfast (and yes, she would tell you, meditation really helps), and there was nothing amiss, in the long run, with the blood reading, and the other news was encouraging - and we were finally, finally home by 8.15. Given that I'd started the day by getting up at 4.30 a.m. to attend - via Skype - a symposium at the Courtauld, it was a very, very long longest day indeed ... For those of you on Alice's bulletin mailing list, a proper bulletin will follow in the morning. Meanwhile, you'll have to make do with her shoes - probably the most cheerful things in the room, apart from the quite wonderful nurses.
