Thursday...

today I have had my scan results and I'm pleased to say my tumour has shrunk to half its size!!! Amazing.. the lymphoma has responded well to the chemo.. I'm half way through and very pleased. I'm back at hospital tmrw for my hickman line replacement and then next Tuesday I will have my out patient appt when I'll find out the next start date for the next cycle.

I'm feeling ok.. I have been sat out for around 20 mins to get some vit D, as the weather has been amazing. Every day I sit outside on the deck under the umbrella relaxing and reading. This week I was very sadden by the news of Robin Gibb, love the Bee Gee's, so many people affected by cancer and it does hit home.

I have been wearing my new wig, which is very comfortable. I feel confident wearing it aswell which is important. My major battle at the moment is my eyelash's.... They are falling out and are sooo long and weird!! I have gaps in places. I have bought some false ones... but trying to resist putting them on just yet.

As I have been going about my "daily duties", in town or shopping at the supermarket, I don't see any other "cancer" patients about...... ie people with headscarves?? Can't just be me?? Where is everyone? Are they either at home or just wearing good wigs??? I obviously didn't notice anyone before walking down the street, but now I look out for "others".

I'll sign off as very tired today. Had a lovely visit from two school friends Rachel and Sarah this evening. Nothing changes does it with old friends.... all at school in 1985... and we can STILL talk for England!!!

Night everyone
