I’m sure you will all the staff were lovely and tried to make you as comfortable as possible. But it’s really nothing to worry about. The whole experience was ok. You basically just sit there anyway lol. Almost home x
Back home now. Bit tired but otherwise all ok. Hope everyone else is ok? Hope you get on ok Vee

rest when you need to ?
Just got back from flu jab didn’t hurt think I am becoming immune to needles lol I used to be such a wuss too xx
I think you do get use to them SueW. Lost count of how many times I’ve had injections, blood tests and cannulas. I’m more surprised that they didn’t put the chemo drugs through and they all squirt out of the many holes in my arms lol. Cannula finally went in on 4th attempt today so covered in little plasters.

Hi all. Hope everyone is doing ok.
Day 2 and i have been ok! Up, showered and dressed by 9. Took my tablets and had breakfast. Made dinner for tonight and tomorrow. Sat and nattered with my auntie and went to M and S for a few bits and treated my daughters head for nits - the joys of going to an all girls school!! I’ve Just had tea and sitting down. I have sucked lots of sweets, had jelly, did my mouthwash and drank lots. So a bit jittery, a dry mouth and a bit tired but otherwise ok. THANK YOU GOD xx
I hope that you continue to do ok Ali49.
I have had my hair cut short today. My hairdresser was quite reluctant at first but then her creative juices started to flow and she got quite excited. There can’t be many opportunities for a very experienced hairdresser with the same clients week in week out to be given free reign to do what she likes and not have to worry about her client having to live with the consequences for long 
I am quite pleased with it everyone says that I look younger which is nice.
Evening ladies
Nothing to say other than hope your all ok xx
Evening ladies!
Chaffinch, I had my hair cut short today too. Such an odd feeling coming away with a completely new do when I’ve had the same style for years!
I’ve felt a bit useless these past couple of days and looking forward to heading upwards tomorrow ?
Best wishes to everyone xx
Chaffinch glad you like your new hairdo. SueW hope she finds it useful. Reboot hope you feel better tomorrow. On we all go hey girls xx
I have just sat wrapping presents ready for my baby boy birthday tomorrow… we’ll i say baby he is 6ft 2 with size 13 feet lol and is going to be 21 he gets mad when I tell him he is still my baby ??
Evening ladies, I am due to start my chemo next week. Assessment Monday, PICC line Tuesday and first chemo Friday. I am on holiday at the minute due to fly home tomorrow then straight into the next stage of my treatment. I’m worried about the PICC line as I am scared of needles and pass out at the sight of blood. Hoping it’s not as bad as I fear!
Hey everyone not been on for a couple of days
Hope your all well? I’m full of a cold ?
I start chemo Thursday 5th xx
Hi Sam hope your feeling better soon have you had flu jab? X
Runnetbean I am actually considering asking for picc in all of this the needles etc don’t bother me but I hate canula with a passion and cry every time I have to have one x
Thank you Rosie, and good evening to everyone x
I hadn’t appreciated how tired I was before I started my chemo to be honest, so I think that’s why this week has been more tiring than I’d expected. I do so need to learn how to ask for help though!!
Hope everyone has relaxing weekends xx
Day 3 and not too bad. Awake from 1am due to steroids and just couldnt get back to sleep. Got up and had tea and toast. Went back for a couple of hours this morning and felt better. Did my first injection and that was easy. Ivtook it out of the fridge and took 2 paracetamol half an hour before jabbing it!! I havent been dressed today but i have done the washing, hung it out and done ironing. I am glowing with the steroids and i have been the loo!!! Hope everyone is feeling better and ok xx
Ye I’ve had the flu jab xx
