Thanks Ladies for the kind and encouraging words!!! I know my sense of humour can be slightly perverse for some but I have found it to be a help for mental stability to be able to unleash it...otherwise I think I would be crying nonstop and feeling overwhelmed with it all, as I am sure you will understand. As to Chemo - my first cycle begins next week. Tad bit nervous / apprehensive but that is okay to feel that - to cope with that, I have been online shopping!! Wow, I am going to be rocking those scarves, beanies and turbans.....!!!!!!!!!!!! Big Hugs and much love Lois....
