My darling Helen,
The first line of this post actually made my day, you really will kick some ass!
I believe in you so much and know you'll get through this more stronger and amazing as ever.
This thread has brought my to tears. I can't stop crying. I can't believe this is happenings, its almost too good to be true.
Thank you all so, so much!
Cotswold has a computer & I'm trying to borrow my Nan's laptop for while I'm there.
Here's an apology in advance for my no doubt erratic behaviour that will follow next week.
Don't apologise for erratic behaviour - it is entirely to be expected. This is huge for you, don't underestimate how it will shake you up.
But I can see you have many many people on here who truly care about you and are your friends - and if you can't be erratic with your friends at a time like this, when can you eh?!!

Helen, good luck with the IP treatment.
I know that you can do it and I know it'll benefit you.
Take care of yourself and I hope you come back happier.
