Update ...
So far all is well (fingers crossed)
The kids are still digesting the news - I think it has been presented in such a calm, casual way that they perhaps don't yet understand the seriousness, but that's ok.
The second chemo session yesterday was as uneventful as the first. There have been no side effects thus far, & the rash has eased. After just one chemo treatment that is said to be a very good sign.
Meanwhile I am sporting a bit of a black eye & some swelling after my visit to the dermatologist yesterday for removal of a BCC. My dear daughter rang last night & again this morning to ask how I was feeling! <3 <3 <3
