had my first chemo 2 days ago. Waves of nausea and needing some Nanna naps, but otherwise ok. I made a vow at the beginning of this experience to keep the lippy on and keep smiling. So far so good

    I was very good with the lippy to begin with, 6 chemos later I have slacked off.  I am still smiling though. I need to make more of an effort with a bit of make up. All the best for the remainder of you chemos. How many are you having?

    Yep it is surprising how a little bit of lippy and a smile helps.
    This time last year I was getting ready for my first chemo, how time flies.
