my hair has begun to fall out which has reinforced my decision not to continue with the ice cap treatment. It is not part of the cancer treatment it is about vanity and wanting to keep hair. I may be vain, but hell my hair will grow back and I have always been growing, cuttting and changing the colour of my hair for years. I have been curly and dark, short, blond/purple, red, stripped so what the hell - bald it is. My current colour way for reference is very grey with dark bits, not unlike a badger. My blood count has been low and apparently that shows that the Chemo is working.
I am very pleased to note that the Oncology team for breast cancer (at Queen Marys hospital Sidcup) is mostly staffed by female consultants, led by Dr Rigg. I am comforted by this fact but also proud that the senior posts are women - rock on.
Yesterday I drove to Chigwell - see down but not out - to meet up with my team (work) we had a BBQ and I sat in the sun and watched Dogs and Children running around. My journey was 10 miles and I went over the Thames via the Woolwich Free Ferry which is my favourite way to do this trip.
Let's keep the Woolwich Free Ferry running, imagine the use it will get during the 2012 Olympics.
On the 9th August I have my second chemo so I may not be posting so much following that, depends on my reaction to treatment.
Love Granny
