Day 141

Finally! The nausea is starting to wear off. I slept brilliantly last night, was tucked up in bed by half eight and slept all the way through until half six. I woke up and for the first time since Saturday, I did not feel too bad at all. My body is really showing signs of getting back to normal. My hair is coming through a lovely honey blonde colour, a lot lighter than I used to be. If I stand with the light behind me I look like I have a halo! The longer, darker strands of hair that have been around for a while are coming out which is exactly what the doctor said would happen, leaving me with the hair that is going to stay. My eyebrows are just about hanging on but I have lost the longer of my eyelashes. I smell like me. I threw away the shower gel I have been using whilst I have been having chemo. I don't want to be reminded. One thing that really did affect me badly on Friday when I had chemo was the smell of the chemo ward. I could smell it on my coat when I came out and it made me feel really sick. I am going to have to get used to that as that is where I will be going to have my Herceptin. It is really funny how the mind works - I am living proof of mind over matter if positive thinking is anything to go by.
