Next wk their going to give me a calming drug as Dr thinks it could be anxiety & here's me thinking i was ok.

    Thought I'd start my blog
    I have been reading other people's entries and realised that maybe I should start my own. It's not about me but my Mother-in-law - just diagnoised. The appt on Monday 22nd didn't really go well , found out that her only hope is Chemo. I think deep down I knew this as I work in a hospital and the cons were I work has been really helpful, arranging CT, Bone scans and inserting chest drains. My Hubby is holding up well, he broke down yesterday when he told me that she was upset as she wouldn't see our...

Not just whispy mind you but they look like an italian footballers legs lol. The hair there was the last to go after chemo (head being first) and first to sprout back with avengence and dark dark brown to boot. Now i can enjoy the girlie things again like shaving them and feeling normal. The hair on the unmentionables is coming back too also dark dark and growing well beyond...

    Time for celebration, and a new year
    I would like to wish all my Buddies, and all those who I have had the great fortune to meet these past few months, a wonderful time over this holiday period. It has dawned on me as we reach the closing of this year - achieving almost a year of remission - how lucky I am, and all of us are, who have this time to celebrate our lives with our family and friends, and especially our children. Time with my daughter is a celebration of itself, no matter what the new year brings or how many more Christmases...
