My mother died on Sunday and she refused to participate in a clinical trial involving chemotherapy after trying it for 6 weeks. The doctor strongly suggested that she continue even though she gave it a 2% chance of it working. My mom said that one week after quitting it, she felt great whereas during the therapy, she said it felt like every cell in her body was sick and she felt like leaping out of it. By the way, after quitting she received a bill from the trial and was informed that only the "medicine" was free.

It was 13th April 1950, my 6th birthday, a secondhand pair of shoes, grey socks up to the knees with a red line on the skin from the elastic, a NEW camelhaired coat bought with a provident cheque, a shiny sixpence and two ration coupons to buy my birthday treat of sweets at the local corner shop. My shoelace was undone so I placed my sixpence on the two coupons on the counter and bent down to tie them, on standing up my coupons were missing. I asked the shopkeeper if he had seen them and got a clip on the ear for being cheeky, no coupons no sweets, some birthday treat. although my parent were sympathetic, there was little they could do, I never forgot. Did anyone else suffer as a child with rationing?
