Had my first chemo session. It started on Wednesday 6th Sept. Two days in hospital and it went quite well. No nausea, although they did give me anti-nausea drugs. Came home Friday afternoon, felt quite tired and slept like a log Friday night. A friend popped in to see me Saturday lunchtime and brought some beautiful flowers. After she left I decided to go in for a shower and then the fun started! I started to feel a bit dizzy so called out to my ex-husband (we're still good friends and he's looking...

H,
Prior to making my decision for PC treatment I was put onto HT. I asked the open surgery consultant who prescribed this treatment if this would effect any choice in future treatments and was told it wouldn't.
On my second visit to see the Robotic consultant, I booked in for surgery under him, however when I informed him that I had been on HT for some weeks he said it could make it ''Sticky''.

Oh well, my hair has all but gone! I have gone from having an extremely thick head of hair that I have always loved, to having spindly little wisps of straggly, thin, dead looking hair.

I told you we were going to go to Scarborough to visit my Dad, Step Mum and the oldest two Hunters as they are on holiday there...
I have my Oncology appointment today at 12:45! I am so nervous, worried of what she will say, frightened that she will take one look at the last two weeks and say that my body can't cope with this. I want this cancer attacked with everything they can throw at it, I want it to suffer as much as it possibly can, to shrivel and be eaten up by my body, as opposed to it eating me! I can feel a marked difference in the shape and size of the main lump and I can't even feel the lump under my arm anymore...
