Hi Stars   Well had my pre-chemo talk today, also had a wig fitting, OH wanted me to try the long blonde wig,   we did laugh. At present I have a bob, more grey than auburn.  So have chosen a longer bob in a almond with hi lites that didn't look too bad.  OH very disappointed his dreams were shattered.   Well stepping up to the bar for my dunking tomorrow at 1:30pm in a ward full of others also hooked to IV drips, think I will take my kindle.   They have given me some anti nausea drugs to take one hour before treatment and then one for the following two days.    Nausea is my nemesis - rather hang onto it than throw it down the toilet.  Anyway heres hoping the tabs will work.       Golly they really load you with info don't they.   Got CT results - clear - phew.   But bone density showed osteopoenic in lumber and neck regions - I am post menopausal so was sorted of expected.  Will deal with this when all treatment over, have looked up that diet, walking etc can put a halt or at least help with this.  Now I know why I was always in pain after yoga - not my imagination, not me being too fat!  Mind you I have now lost a stone and now weigh in at a svelt 9st 13lbs.     All my love to those stars doing the IV shuffle tomorrow. Lets hope SE's are minimal.   Georgina.   ... View more

Hi Annie   Hope you get this - still fumbling around on the new site.    I'm alright most of the time, just getting a little nervous about what is about to hit me.  Have bought some headgear from Anna Bandanas,  OH and I had a laugh - first in a  long time!   Bought a digital thermonitor, must get some seabands and lot of people on hear seem to swear that they work.   Had a visit from my boss the other day just to inform me that they are putting a temp in my place, this really upset me, old life disappearing fast.   George ...
