Thank you Di

I am still getting over the picture of the gloves / toilet!!!  Oh thats going to keep me going for a while ....  Wish I had been on this site before chemo, lots of helpful stuff!!

I am thinking of getting some help, thanks for the info, much easier through bc nurse at Mount than negotiating thru GP'"s.  Hadn't thought of that.  As you say it seems common to feel like me.  But this site gives you courage.

Had my onc visit last thurs, stress stress all good til I mentioned dizziness ongoing (he must of forgotten).  Brain scan next day!!!  But he rang me that night to say all was normal (redeemed himself) big sigh of relief - may be damage to ears.  And tomorrow I've got the first boob squash after diognosis!! (mammo & u/s).  Why do docs appts cause so much stress.??  Hopefully after all this I'll be right for next three months hey.

You keep hanging in there too,I hope the rest of the treatment goes smoothly.  And as someone said - for the majority of us, it is a CURE.

Pam - big hugs - after you've washed your hands hey ha ha ha
