You will see how important Keeley's role in all this is. Because of the nature of the drugs I'm on, and the pain I'm in, I'm usually off with the fairies. On top of everything else in her life, Keeley has to get all this stuff ready for me, from measuring into syringes, making sure I get the right medicine, and this is the glamorous stuff. Emptying the sick bowl, chucking the spit down the loo, cleaning syringes, making cups of tea, taxi driver.

For all of this and much more she is my hero.
