Dizzy. Might be worth mentioning when you go and pick those others up. It’s time to make a fuss even if you are not one to make a fuss, don’t suffer se’s if you don’t have to. Let us know how you get on tomorrow ???

I’m going to see if I can have my anti sickness tweaked next week. Ondansetron and metaclopramide didn’t do it for me.
Raised £140 at work today, not bad for 18 people ?. A few clients even emptied their pockets of change. Great turnout of fab wigs. The best was a pink and black 80’s Limhal style spiked one bought on Amazon. I had serious wig envy. My hair has properly started to shed today day 17 not helped by wearing a big curly pink wig all day! I will certainly appreciate my proper one now!
Off for flying visit to see inlaws tomorrow. MIL doesn’t know about my chemo so need to hang onto hair for another 24 hours but might get away with my wig because she is not quite with it at the moment.
Happy Friday all. Hope the fundraiser and shave go well Karen x
Sounds like a great day karen. Hope your meds get sorted soon x
Great fund raising chaffinch ???hair dance to keep your hair for visit to in laws for you. Sounds like a good selection of pink wigs you had there today ?hope you get your meds tweeted to suit, that’ll make the chemo train journey smoother for you ??shi xx
Sorry for late post ladies…Big Pink day went very well and was a lot busier than I anticipated! Haven’t added all money up but looking well over £1000 which is fantastic! Had my hair shaved in front of about 80 people which was surprisingly ok…had to focus on the people I knew where brave but cldnt look at my eldest son or hubby as knew they were in tears ? I think my hairdresser was more scared than me! I cldnt look to start with but hubby dragged me into the ladies to confront the new me…it’s strange but a lot better than I thought! Put a pink wig on, then a few hours later another pink one but the last couple of hours I went head commando and felt comfortable!
Its been a long long day so sleep is much needed ?
Birmingham is about 31/2 hrs drive from me I think so I may have to really be super woman and fly!!
5 more days TIL chemo 2 ??
Night xx
Karana???what an amazing fund raising you had and so pleased to hear you are feeling ok and going commando ???wonderful. Birmingham’s only suggestion thought if everyone has a train there might be doable. Do you do b&b at your pub? That could be another option? So pleased you had such good day Karana. I’d just woken up and saw the time so nipped on forum quickly thinking you’d updated us all and you had ???shi xx
Well done Karana ?
Well done Chaffinch and Karana! Amazing fundraising. In a day or 2 Karana your bare head will be the new norm! Since getting my number 4 this week i am comfortable wearing nothing at home. My daughter desperstly didnt want me to get the shave but watch8ng my hair slowly coming out and being everywhere was awful. When my daughter saw it she said oh mum thats much better! Now the kids think i look more ‘me’ without the wig!
Still loving the wig and wearing it to go out though.

Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is that quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow."

Morning ladies
Hope everyone slept well and is in good spirits x
Last injection today for this cycle yay xxx
What’s everyone got planned? Xxx
Morning ladies! Well done Karana and Chaffinch, sounds like you both did an amazing job. Karana, you’re so braver with the public head shave. My hair seems to be hanging on in there, so maybe the cold cap has done its magic, but have a feeling I might end with bald patches on my crown and top of my head as it’s feeling a bit itchy and sore in places ? In fact all my hair seems to be hanging on tooth and nail and isn’t doing a mass exodus and running for the hills like I expected!
Ali what a lovely inspiring quote and glad you’re feeling more comfortable with your hair.
SueW well done on first round of injections, bet you’ll be glad to get them over with.
Shi, like Karana, Birmingham is quite a way for me but maybe me and Karana can sort something out to travel together. Karana, maybe we could do the train?
Going out later today as OH wants to go and look at yet another bike ? to add to his collection! Don’t have the heart 
to moan about it as think it might cheer him up a bit.
Karana, I have my second session Tuesday so 3 days time ???Bloods will be ok.
Jencat, how’re you feeling now? Are you starting to come through the other side?
Thank you for the positive vibes everyone…I feel ok with my head this morning although just spoke to my BF who wasn’t here last nite and she set me off as she was blubbering like a baby!!
Well I’ll done Chaffinch and well done Sue on your injections!
Shi no b&b here I’m afraid! Meesh I think us travelling together wld be a fab idea, so a train journey wld be the best plan I reckon! Glad your hairs staying put!
Gonna go out and hat shop today with a couple of friends.
Now gonna count money!!! Xxx
Hi Karana, would be interested to know how you go with the hat shopping, mine hasn’t been hugely successful yet. I’m thinking I may do better with a hat if I get some bald spots but don’t seem to be able to find anything that I’m happy with! ?
Meet up …, perhaps if we work out who defineltly wants to come play then plan on a map and look for somewhere central would be best plan of action x
Mesaged you Jencat x
Will let you all know later how the hat shopping goes!
jencat the yucky feeling will soon pass try to eat little and often, I found things like fruit pastilles helped and keep drinking water…sparkles alway help too ?????

Hi everyone,
Back from hosp again. Apparently the antibiotics they gave me yesterday have increased my nausea. Still a new set of anti sickness meds so here’s hoping ?
Jencat I hope you feel better soon, what day are you on?
Happy shopping to everyone going.
Birmingham’s good for me as I’ve still loads of family there but happy to travel elsewhere.
Love and hugs to everyone!
I ordered a couple of lovely hats at decent prices from Cosifits. Came recommended through Maggie’s. They arrived this morning and are lovely. They also do some of them in small sizes which is great for me ?
I was about to say morning ladies but realised it is afternoon 
Ali that was a lovely quote you shared - brought a tear to my eye as I feel my courage is a slight whimper today, but I am just about to get out of bed and face the world which is my step forward today.
I am definitely in the nausea and sickness carriage of the chemoland choo choo train. Woke at 4 am feeling very yuck but the morning meds allowed me a couple of hours sleep later this morning. But the smells - yuck - just like when I was pregnant.
Huge congrats ??? on the fundraising and haircut Karana - an amazing story.
I came out on Facebook yesterday and then my husband shared on his Facebook, a bit overwhelming but have been very touched with all the responses I have received - again making me a little emotional. All in all a few ? Over the past 24 hours.
Big hugs Jencat we can take the weekend slowly together ???
I am trying to be like the hungry ? To handle my nausea small bites out of anything I fancy every few hours seems to working a bit and good job the shops are close by and my husband is happy to go on plenty of errands to feel useful ? Oh but the smells ?
I would love to meet up at some point xxx
Right time to have that bath and deal with the dryness that seems to be creeping across my body from my eyeballs out! Luckily my optician gave me some strong eye drops when she found out I was having chemo.
Well I seem to be rambling a bit ? So time for a bath and maybe even a little wig modelling this afternoon Shi ?
Much love to all And a small ?To the bath
