Show us your nuts! (Nude nuts that is...)

oh yeah, and im on SOMAC for the swallowing thing, one tab before breaky and its good. If i over indulge ( second helping of dinner) I'll get reflux usually when i go to bed, so its my own fault, lol. And yes my head  gets hot also, so i just go nakey to the shops, doesnt bother me anymore, it is what it is. I love the feel of the wind through my .... on my scalp as i drive with the window down on a warm day :) hehe so many benefits to being bald;)

I love Lakes Entrance, a LOVELY part of the world. Like I said below I lived in Mirboo North for about 10 years growing up (inland between Morwell and Phillip Islnad, near Leongatha etc) and now live in Canberra (for about 15 years), but I go through Lakes Entrance every time I go back to visit famil and ALWAYS stop and have a break, lunch (or whatever) and go for a walk along the fishing boarts and the water.

My sister lives in Ararat, so know Ballarat pretty well too, as I got through Ballarat to visit my sister (unless I go from Warrnambool, where my brother lives, but then I usually go through Ballarat - coming on going at least).

It is a VERY small world itsn't it <LOL> :-)

A few friends sing that to me, I tell them im more like Sigourney Weaver in ALIEN 2! lol... Ive done the leggings, long tops and boots too, some reason, it looks right! Im down 12 kilo's now, glad i didnt throw out my fave jeans! I noticed prior to diagnoses i gained weight quickly, for about 3-5 months, i put it on. I didnt alter my eating, if anything it was summer months and i ate less, and walked and cycled alot more. My body changed. Maybe it was growing then,( cancer) and my body was preparing me to cope with all the surgeries etc, and the chemo ( vomits). But, at 78kg now, ( 5ft-6), I feel alot better!  :) and im going nude most days :)

Hi Allison, I live in lovely Lakes Entrance, been here about 2.3yrs now, and love it!!! I was in Ballarat for 20 years, so good sea-change. Paynsville is also lovely, i like the houses along the channel. All the best for you too hun, been to Perth and Kalgoorlie several times, and plan a big road trip when Im all better!

Yeah I was relieved to find out I had a pretty good shaped head, like you said there is NO way to tell, before hand.

I tend to wear stud earrings more than anything and find dangly ones are often annoying, I do have a couple fo pair though and mught try them.

All I need to do now is loose a little weight, so that the face and shin is a littel thinner (put on weight in the last few years and more since my surgery in February which left me bed ridden for about 4-6 weeks (complications caused by my pre existing conditions).

I fins I do tend to wear a little make up now (THANK YOU Look Good Fell Better workshops) when going out, to draw attention to that and not my bald head and to make myself feel a little more feminine.

Thanks for the kind words, it helps, to know that you don't look bad (not that we have any choice in the matter <LOL>) and like I said I don't mind the look myself, I haven't had any issues with being almost bald yet, and I have no problems going out in public like this without a hat, and I feel that if people stare at me (and a coupld have) that theya re the ones with the problem NOT ME. Sometimes my head gets really hot (you can see in the photos, I am sweating a bit).

Looks great Shaz!  Were you relieved to find that you had a good shaped head?  There's no telling what the head's going to look like is there?

Earrings are great, long dangly ones.  It's hard to describe but I guess it's like the feeling of the sense of identity that having hair gives you.  I bought a whole heap of them online.  Granted there's really only one pair I actually wear, but it's nice to feel feminine again!

Do you live in Paynesville? My husband's aunt, whom I'm very close to, lives there. Her name is Jan Hunt (late 60's). Her husband is Colin. They are very active in the sailing club. Jan came over ( to Perth) last year to help out when I was having chemo. Lovely people.

Good luck with your treatment and I'm glad you can have it in Bairsdale. Lovely place.  Take care and I'm thinking of you.
