Week 2 in review
Oh look, here is me starting a new "must do"! This time, I vow to write a "week in review" every weekend, to summarise what I have done, what I have read, what I have watched and what I have learnt. Don't expect any profound, mindful observations here. This is just a chilled look at the week past.

Day 285: A quick update on Chemo Session 4
