I will start with:

Its all good Vicki. Bald and fat is fine! It only took me about 2 months to kick the chemo weight. I finished chemo at the end of April. Hair is growing back. I am finally waking in the morning with "bed hair". It made me so happy to wake that first morning noticing that I had to do something with my hair before I walked out the door!
Julie, the nurses were straight onto it when I had my allergic reaction. I started feeling weird and turned...said nurse...something is wrong and then it was on! So scary. I couldnt breathe, my entire body went bright red, I had this loud ringing in my ears and thought I was going to vomit and poo my pants...All at the same time. Absolutely aweful. They pulled me straight off chemo, gave me a relaxation pill to slow my adrenaline then gave me antihisthamede (sp?). They kept me off for about an hour and then hooked me back up again. From then on, everytime I had chemo I had to have a Zurtec tablet and IV antihisthamede first and then my chemo. It only happens to 5% of us. Day 10 of my first chemo landed me in hospital with no red or white cells and that only happens to about 8% of us. Lucky me huh!! Its all over now so its ok. I am fine. The reaction was over as soon as they took me off chemo. Amazing Nurses...I tell ya.
Hope your both travelling well
Hugs to ya XXXXX
