Thank you, ladies.
I really am grateful to have so much support, and it’s what will get me through this xx
First chemo session yesterday morning, and it went okay.
I lost all bravado when I woke up in the morning, and the canula going in was emotional, but it was over within two hours.
I felt fine, but knew I was treading water until the side effects kicked in, which they did that evening.
Nausea, wooziness…vomiting.
I put off getting up this morning as I dreaded sitting up, but today has been much better so far, and I even managed a post office run 
But this evening bring self injecting with what looks like a very large syringe, and I’m dreading it!

Well done Sarah, just catching up with your thread, sending you a massive hug…
I had cancer of the womb and it had gone into the cervix, I had 25 radiotherapy’s plus 24 hrs one inside a chamber but no chemo, it is all such a big journey and you just go on it, the worse bit was telling my hubby on the phone while he was working in Nigeria, 4 days after the hysterecomy that it was cancer, then telling the kids when I got home…but it was 19yrs ago…
Sending love and healing thoughts to you xxx

Famous last words, but five days after chemo, if I ignore the fatigue and hospital taste in my mouth I’m beginning to feel much more normal!

Hi Sarah, well done you! The first chemo is scary as you don’t know how it’s going to hit you so well done for getting through it. I made a ‘chemo countdown’ where I crossed off each day and could slowly see the end in sight. I began painting again during chemo as it took my mind off things and I am sure your crafting is helping you too. Stay strong, it’s hard, i know but each day is a step closer to the end. Big 
hug. Jackie xx

Hello!
Well, it’s been a while since I updated and I can finally see the end in sight!
Chemo has been tough, although not as tough as I expected it to be, and my hair disappeared after the second session.
But I am now four sessions done, two to go, with the fifth on Monday, and my hair is already growing back!
Then I start four weeks of radiation in September.
I consider myself lucky to be going through this during the long hot summer rather than the depths of winter, and bald definitely has an advantage in the heat!
I haven’t bothered with wigs, and instead use hairbands and scarves as they just feel more me.
Thank you so much for all the support and good wishes as it means a lot - and ladies, keep checking your breasts!
