My appointment with the oncologist is actually next Tuesday (chemobrain). At least I thought it was earlier than it was, rather than later! Good to know that you also got the rash @kmakm and @"Kiwi Angel". I seemed to it after being in the sun, but perhaps it was a co-incidence. I don't want to be avoiding the sun unnecessarily. I could also have had a reaction to the suncream I used, which was Cancer Council spray, but still there might be something more suitable. It is currently a lovely day here in Canberra and I think I will go for a walk before that changes. I want to enjoy the next week as much as I can before cycle 2.
I also had a read through Liz O'Riordan's blog, and enjoyed her honest, informative and down to earth writing style. I liked reading about the amount of exercise she did when she could, as I want to be more active.
I also read about Rachael Bland a BBC newsreader, a lovely soul who died earlier this week at 40. Rachael blogged about her cancer experience on Big C Little Me. I felt so sad and as though I was losing a friend when I read her last blog that she was off her last trial due to the cancer not responding. Rachael also hosted a great podcast "You me and the big C" with two other British women with stage 4 cancer. A very informative podcast that discusses cancer with great humour and camaraderie.
