    An update since we got back from the states nearly 2 months ago.  We've settled down again and believe it or not, apart from my very close friends I don't miss it at all.  In fact I would go as far to say I am loving life right now. Today at 2pm I am having my first haircut since losing it last July.  I'm going to have it pixie, bleached blonde, and then tomorrow I have my first real check up since finishing all the…

    Hi everyone

    I had my last chemo yesterday and I really can't believe how quickly the time has gone.  I can honestly say that the journey so far has not been too bad.  I had to spend one night in Christies last week because of neutropenia and a water infection but was allowed out the following day with a course of antibiotics.  No sickness, mouth problems or neuropathy just a few joint pains on days 4 & 5.  My weight…
