Hi all
Was back at the Western Gerneral in Edinburgh on Tuesday and I have 'the pills' I am not starting them until next Tuesday as husband is night shift this week and was worried in case I took a bad reaction and he was not here to take me to hospital. I have looked at them and they look harmless - just small white capsules - hard to imagine the poison that is inside this little capsule. I have a vision of myself taking one and ending up like one of Agatha Christie's victims - grabbing my throat - then next thing legs up in the air etc.,
Hopefully this will not be the case. Going to try to do lots this weekend as it may be the last time I feel normal for some time. Have ordered a nice short wig as well as the one I got on prescription and have lots of pretty headwear lined up too! About as prepared as I can be for the onslaught of drugs - chemo - then bone marrow transplant - wish it was next year at this time - I will either be okay or up playing my harp in the clouds. Will let you know how the pills go next week.
