The hairy angry fight

Hey hey.so welcome. I ve written about 3 blogs now and they always fail to set for posting but that s ok.

Quick summary.i was misdiagnosed with no follow up 6 mnths ago. Then in march found alump.week 1.thought i was terminal.going to die.lots of mass grade 3, lymph nodes, lots of terrifying words. Then met my surgeon who said. I m going v to fix you and gave me a 10yr plan.Mr W!the bomb!

2/52- cried the whole way totheatre.right booby and full axilliary clearance walloped out and the beast we ve been calling Malcolm is out. 2 out of 21 nodes were positive. So that s another plus.

April chemo round 1 with cold cap trial. Hey it s not that cold and not that bad, but oh my word the abdo pain for a week was not pleasant.

May chemo round 2 as above...but..oh goodness it s been not pleasant. I thought my hair might not fall out.my achilles herl but 3 days b4 round 2 it went in spectacular style. And I am truly devestated. I rudhed to the local extension and fro shop to order a wig but god it s not my hair. I ve went from being someone no one would have a clue had cancer to looking like a reject from the thriller video with my beanie off. I didn t want to go out.i don t want to wear a cancer hat turban thing. I just want to be me and it s disappearing down the plughole with my hair.
