Round Two. I’m scoffing chocolate like everyone else. It’s Easter! Thanks Mel and Ryan for loading me up.
I’ve lost a bit of weight these past three weeks and my hair has pretty much fallen out. It’s like some old bugger’s had a shave and left his stubble in the basin. I can’t imagine how hard it would be having long hair and it falling out as you brush it. I think it’s easier this way. I’m not really fazed.
I make an effort to ‘put a face on’ and wear something nice (including heels). I figure if you can try to look your best (at least on the way in), then you’ll hopefully feel your best. It also makes the nursing staff and other patients smile.
One thing that made me smile (actually no – I laughed out loud), was when I went to the bathroom during treatment. The nurse looking after me warned that the Epirubicin (or RED DEVIL as it’s known by most of the patients), comes out the same way it goes in. Paul didn’t believe me, so yes, it’s gross, but I took a photo of what I’d left in the toilet bowl!
Whilst my food intake is pretty low and the flavours bland (such as bread and baked beans) I did manage a meal out with good friends Tania and Clayton. And on another outing, Mum captured little Harrison with more hair than me:-)
