Fat, Bald and Yuk!
That's how I'm feeling at the moment! Day 11 of Chemo 5 and I'm still not feeling great. I should be feeling okay, because I only have 1 more chemo to go, (23rd Feb) but my mouth is still awful.

I know I lived from October 2010 till May 2011, but really can't remember much of this chemo, mastectomy and radiotherapy time. I just went with the flow and eventually came out the other side. Don't over analyse anything, just know "that this too, shall pass" a quote from somewhere, but my chemobrain won't let me remember where!
Be kind to yourself and be honest with your friends, some will disappoint, others will be your greatest supporters. I always looked extremely well despite feeling terrible and I got sick of everyone saying how well I looked. I learned to say "thank the steroids" or "that's not what my test results say" etc.
With love
