Last night Sal noticed, for the first time, that her hair was coming out. Not in huge clumps yet but definitely coming out whenever she ran her fingers through it. So, it has to come off.

On leaving hospital on Tuesday Sal was given an appointment card detailing when her Hickman Line fitting would be done. She was told tomorrow, Friday.
