hey poppy I think I am on FEC, hair guaranteed to fall out pretty quickly I've been told. I'm at the wesley 8.40am on a 3 week schedule for 6 rounds. I have just been away for a week up the coast. It was touch and go as to whether I would be good enough to go, but so glad I went as saltwater did wonders for healing and I could exercise my arm really well. Sure it felt like lead as I came out of the water, but now very happy. Was thinking about you last monday when you had your surgery. I hope you're healing well and enjoy the break before all the craziness begins next year. So far I have made fruit mince for the first time, it was fantastic, the pastry however not so good, but everything tasted yummy just didn't look pretty. So then went the welsh lady at bardon to get the empty shells to fill with the bottles of fruit mince left over and it's a winner. Next I will endeavour to cook my first ever Turkey. I have never even eaten turkey before so I asked for a small one(thinking 2 1/2 kilos lol ended up with 4 1/2 kilo one so will be farming the left overs out unless i can turn them into something I can freeze for next month. My son and I are making my grandmothers trifle tomorrow (another first) but have to go from memory as she never wrote anything down.
Let's compare notes when we start. I'm going to visit starkles at the myer centre for a look see at wigs and maybe Z and me for a bandana/scarfy thing. Might see how I go with the first round of chemo before booking in for a look good feel good session in case I just look and feel like crap after it. ..
