Wow - doesn't time get away - havent ventured here for a while. Have had 2 lots of Chemo - getting ready for number 3 - am very pleased how going so far and get the feeling it does get a bit tougher each time as my body still getting used to the 'medicine' - found that I am coping really well under very challenging family responsibilities. Everyone else in the house seem to get my symtems - so glad I am going okay though - l have employed a weekly house clean as I know longer see any benefit of getting down on my hands and knees to clean showers etc - so glad I have become a little assertive and organised this service. Also have cleared the house of stupid clutter that has mounted up - I have never had so much time at home before - cabin fever hits me now. I have to stop talking and start walking - my new motto for now. Anyway girls - hope all going as well as can be - and I am going to keep reaching for the stars and make each day special - sit down with my kids that sort of thing. Oh yeah one last thing My seven year old has expressed her fears on losing her hair and getting breast cancer - any tips gladly accepted. Glad she at least expresses her fears. I shaved my head - I could not stand the hair coming out like that - so I got it shaved and then Wigs on Wheels the next day - thanks to Di from Cronulla - and angel. I wear it from Morning to when I put my seven year old to bed - then it comes off for free time. I am looking like a stylish mumma now.

Hi, Glad to hear that things are going okay for you. It must be very scary for little ones to see their mummy or in my case their nanna with no hair. My little granddaughter (3) was quite scared when I showed her my bald head. She "laughed" because I encouraged her to see the funny side of it but she was very uncertain. I gave her my pink wig so that she could be like nanna. When I saw her a couple of weeks later I asked her what "baldy" meant and she was spot on. Like all things change takes adjustment over time. I just love wearing my hats so don't wear my wigs very often. My daughter says I just look like a glamorous "old" woman who likes wearing hats!!!!!XLeonie
