I have written quite a bit on my biography so don't want to repeat it here, this blog will be about I'm coping & feeling with my cancer.

My hair started to fall out and that was quite an emotional day, after 2 weeks I decide that I would need to wear a wig, I got a lovely one by turvey called sally and it has made such a difference to my moral, the number of people who have said they like my new hair colour and style has been such a boost. Even my hubby has started calling me sally..

This has been quite a quiet weekend for me as I'm trying to build up to the restart of my chemo on Tuesday at The Beatson W.of S Cancer Centre so hope all goes well then. My 2 little grand daughters are coming to stay tomorrow night and I'm so looking forward to that just as well I've been doing as told by doctors :-)) for once in my life lol

Hello scrapdollie, thanks for sharing your thoughts. All I can say is I know how it feels to have no hair, to wonder whether tomorrow will come for me, whether I'll see my grandchildren or my next Christmas tree, or my daughter meet and fall in love. My Breast Ca was diagnosed in 2007, I couldn't have chemo as too ill but I'm still here. No-one really knows what's around the corner but we have two choices; we can be sad and give up or be sad but keep on going - I chose the second option and I'm still here and my hair has regrown and I am still nagging my husband, and worrying over my 21 year old daughter! You are going through a really tough time right now but you will come out the other end and, yes, it will change you in certain ways, only for the better. God bless, keep well, think of No.1 - YOU.
