Someone who understands

So I was in the kitchen, preparing to cook an eggplant moussaka, and ruminating on the well known side effects of chemo (like hair loss) and the not so well known side effects that I have experienced (like changes in pigmentation on the face similar to the "mask of pregnancy), which I am experiencing.

And I came across someone who really really got it. We were both feeling a bit out of the norm, a bit different to those around us, a bit....not quite right. I felt like we really connected through our shared experiences of being a bit odd, even if for some one of us it would be only temporary. 

I got a photo of us together:

    LOVE that photo... THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT LAUGH - been sruck in hospital post emergency admission overnight and I so needed a laugh ????????????

    Hey, I have had heaps of dark spots resembking 'liver spots' just darker popped up over all over my face post 2nd chemo and many a new mole (stop counting when it past 100)... Dark spots pathes in other places and after 4th chemo my underarms (except for the patch right in the middle) through to half way to my elbow and some 15cm downwards on my chest wall have gone very very dark. And the underarm bit literaly happened in under 24 hrs...

    My GP had no clue why so I decided to not worry and wait and see so must say I am actually relieved I am not the only one having these weird skin changes...
