oh good god!!!!

1 minute read time.

well here i am 2nd chemo looming in next wednesday havent been as bad as i thought bit spaced out and bloody sick but eating like a little bull terrier so i now look like a fat egg with legs its the tablets the carbucipine thats doing it so im so not happy bout that dr slater will be told!!! woman what are you doing to my once ok figure to be faced with 2 chins and a michelin tyre oh no no no !!!!

the fact that i couldnt get off the bed for three days might have contributed to the spare tyre and eating for england didnt help one jot !!!

 next scenario my hair falling out !! well hasnt yet but im quite sure thats not a kick in the ass (my fat one ) away cos when i brushed it this morning thought id picked up the dogs brush by mistake and had to take a second look!!! 

was so pleased to see paulines blog about eyebrows tonight cos i was just going to ask about that and the eylashes didnt want to go about like an egg with legs to be sure girls so eybrows it is eyelashes next and im sorted thank goodness the rest of the body is such a no pointer anyways saves a fortune on razors lol!!!!

 Went yesterday with my daughter to get my wig and as im blonde wondered if the guy in the shop was serious when he showed me one which i duly tried and looked like dot cotton and the next one i was a sure double for hayley cropper at roys rolls needless to say i thanked him and dissolved in tears of laughter with my girl outside we laughed so much i was so grateful if the tenna advert had come along right then we would have been their best customers anyway slogged onto the next shop an wehay!!! got my wig a nice short bob .......blonde of course so now bring it on bald an beautiful..... so girls lets know all the tips cos im eagerly waiting with bated breath for anymore help and the next chapter will ensue take care everyone starting chemo and  those already  going through it good luck big hugs and keep smiling !!!!! jenxxxxx

    Keep it up Jen, it'll soon be finished and then ALL the body hair will start to grow back, there are worse things than being bald eh lol......the wigs are really good these days and I don't know if yours aware that you are entitled to a new one every six months, mines blonde bob, and I'm thinking darker one for a change....

    Good luck

    Hello Jen, well done - one down already.  You will need to get  yourself some stick on lashes - they're great!  They also last more than a day - try your local beauty salon.  You could also draw  your eyebrows on - tricky I know but with patience you will get there.  Glad you got a good bob but why not get a lovely hat for days when you can't be asked - they look really edgy and keep your nut warm in this return to cold weather.  I really am so pleased you've jumped the first hurdle so good luck and keep us all informed.  You go girl.  Ann x
