Diane also told Tony that she wasn’t sure that chemotherapy was the right way to go<\/a> \u2013 as although it could prolong her life, the quality of life would be lowered as she’d be weak and exhausted. However, in Monday’s episode, seeing how much it’d mean to her loved ones, she agreed to the chemotherapy.<\/p>\n

Next week, Diane puts on a brave face for her family before heading to the hospital for a chemotherapy session \u2013 armed with magazines the teens bought for her to stop her getting bored. <\/p>\n

She also promises her family they can all have a proper Easter celebration when she is back home, but Tony is apprehensive as he worries it’ll be too much for her.<\/p>\n

Nancy Osborne arrives at the hospital to support her friend, and Diane confides in her that Tony’s fussing is making her feel anxious. <\/p>\n

Tony meanwhile is being bombarded with calls from the teens, who are trying to cook a surprise roast dinner for Diane. Nancy offers to stay at the hospital with Diane while Tony goes home to check they haven’t set the place on fire. <\/p>\n
