Side effects – what side effects?

Before starting chemotherapy everyone was telling me I would have a horrid time feeling run down, sick and my hair would fall out. This did not happen the during first round last year and low and behold, despite the consultant putting me on a different regime I still feel fine.  A few niggles, little sleep for a couple of nights after the chemo and as you can see from the photo my hair is a bit spiky. 

It may of course be famous last words, I have only had two doses out of a planned twelve. I was hoping the hair in my ears would fall out but it seems to be growing furiously. Perhaps they are giving me a placebo!

I am paler but I think that is a result of spending Christmas and the New Year in Yorkshire and Lancashire rather than Antigua or the Canary Islands. We are off on another short break next week, I have no idea where but I don’t suppose it will anywhere to improve my tan, it will be my birthday so Gill is scheming something somewhere.

Watch this space for news.
