Hi Colette,

Hahaha, now that's what I call retail therapy!! Saw one of those Fiat 500 cars on the motorway yesterday on way back from hospital. First one I've seen in the flesh so to speak, they look cool. My oncologist laughed when we told him about our retail therapy after my radiotherapy everyday, although we don't go mad as it would cost me a fortune We've been going to the out of town shopping area near the hospital and doing a shop a day as well as lunch. Haven't had so much fun in years LOL. Trouble is we can't be too long as my youngest son, who's off from uni, has been co-opted in to look after my disabled dad so my mum can come with me has been giving us the third degree about why it's taking us so long, little white lies! My mums enjoying herself as well so thats a bonus. Right got to get ready to go for today's treatment, both kinds

Hi girls thankyou so much for all your good wishes, today went fine, felt a bit emotional but your right patricia the procedure was pretty straight forward, whilst I realise that today is only the first day I feel fine, just a little woozy and now I can finaly join the gang and start crossing the dates off on the calender.

So once again thankyou all so very much you really have made all the difference to me in this difficult time, its like having a dozen angels guiding me through.

so big kiss to everyone mwah xx

Glad it wasnt too uncomfortable for you,one down !!

Saw this site and thought of all you ladies going through the hair loss thing. www.headcovers.com/t/scarves. Some nice looking headwear on there .

Good luck to you all,

Hi Lee

Glad everything went well today, it really isn't that bad, I too was emotional first time round, I think we are doing pretty well for beginners lol, I went to get my bloods taken today and the nurse said 'oh youve still got plenty hair, usually its all out before your 2nd chemo' so i dunno everyone is different, glad it all went well. xx

hi all

hope today went well for you col n hope you are feeling ok. make sure you keep on top of anti sickness med then hopefully you wont be sick this time. thinking of you as always.

glad to hear all went well lee. keep us posted on how youre feeling cos us ones that have been through it, will be thinking of you ones going through it now quite a lot. im always checking this page for replies, though dont always have the energy or knowledge to reply. hope you are feeling well.

patrica, how nice to hear from you n see your name on the page again. we missed your stories. so glad you are well n enjoying yourself with your mum. though a bit cheeky on your poor son, hehe.

i forgot to say well done lou for taking part in race for life. its brilliant that you could walk it with your friends. n whata lovely surpise from kids football team. its so nice when people perk you up when feeling so crabby. we all understand about the shouting thing, its perfectly normal to us patients. a little harder for our loved ones though, bless em. feeling so ill n not being able to do things we'd like or used to do, is so fustrating. maybe you should let a bit more steam off on here.

went for psychiatrist app last week n he couldnt stop smiling at me n what i was saying. did get my app wrong again though, was at 10n i thought it was 11! i feel so different to when i had my 1st app. n that was only my 2nd. but im not in that dark horrible place that i was, n i know this site n this page has made a huge difference to me. of course not having those side affects has helped me no end as well. but the further i get away from chemo the better n more possitive i feel inside. i look forward to living again n doing the normal daily things. only thing thats stopping me now is the muscle pain n fatigue. god knows how long that will last. so i have now stopped seeing him but i can call anytime to see him again if needed. gonna stay on anti depressants though probably untill ive finished treatment.

shelley, feel so much for you n would be there when you want to chat but i dont know much about different cancers. dont know that much about my own but i know how it makes you feel. wish you allthe best n will keep an eye out for you on here.

ladies, good luck with your treatment, n sending you all lotsof love.
