If it is not bad enough having to go through the chemo but for it to stop you doing one of the things that you enjoy must be driving you crazy. Hope all turns out OK in the end and you are back at the lathe sooner rather than later.

I avoided Chemo had 39 visits of Radio Therapy nearly two years ago, this followed my dearly beloved having Chemo then Radio therapy. Both mongrels of treatment. My deep sympathy mate. Good news recent visit for Wilma they said we dont want to see you for checkups any more, my results have been below measurement as well. Well worth the anguish.

Chemo can slow the reflexes mate please be careful and get through the process, the alternative is not to do anything,worse still.

Kind regards Peter.

Peter speaks the truth. Hang in there, Brother Tom.

This is the perfect time to sit with paper and pen. Write love letters with the pens you've made. Draw designs for the pens you'll make. Don't forget - we make pens for a higher purpose. This is just an obstacle. Write. Design. Look forward to seeing your next pen.

(If I was "down south" in my nation on this side, and in a church on Sunday morning, I would be asking, "Can I hear an, 'AMEN?'")
