Hello - first, aplogies for the silence, I haven't disappeared off the face of the earth, just been feeling a bit low since chemo and grouchy and unsociable with it most of the time so it's not like I'd have had much to say anyway! What's more, when I do feel good enough to go out and do stuff it seems better to go out and do it rather than sit in front of a computer - I'm sure you agree

So last chemo not quite as great as the first; rather than lunch on the steps of St Pauls followed by shoe shopping (which followed first time round), I wandered down to Bank and caught the bus home, by which time I thought my arms and legs were going to drop off. And they say it gets worse each time - can't wait!!! 

Anyway, apart from that not a lot to say, other than am proper slaphead now. Not a pretty sight sadly and what's more I hate that it's like the badge of the cancer patient -as if everything else wasn't enough, it really adds insult to injury that you have to look like a freak and feel like crap. 

Am grappling with the wig thing - there are ways to make it look a bit better but in this heat it takes real conviction to wear one! And headscarves do just make you look like a bald person wearing a headcarf, so not great. Think I'm just going to have to face the baldness and learn to love it.

Watch this space.
