Day Thirty One

A really, really good day! Have just had my first batch of chemotherapy and I am feeling fine! I had to have a valium one hour before the session and that has knocked me a bit sleepy, that and the fact that I have been up since 4am! They had problems finding a vein (like I said before, I know I am going to be awkward about this!) but once they got me rigged up, those beautiful chemicals started coursing through my veins. One of them gives you a funny prickly feeling in your bits, like wearing angora knickers! The other one made my wee go red! And the other one will make my hair fall out. But! Also chose my new hairdo today, I feel happier knowing that I am going to look semi-gorgeous over the next few months. Gone for something really girlie and it looked really good on me. That should be here within the next 7-10 days, fingers crossed. I have decided that when my hair does start to fall out, I am going to shave the whole lot off, G.I. Jane style! The feeling of relief is overwhelming. I am finally starting the treatment that will hopefully whoop the backside off of those little blighters! Bring it on!
