Just got back from my 2nd chemo injection of this my 7th cycle, so another week of tablets and then just one more complete cycle.[2 injections and 14 days tablets...keep up, I know its complicated!]If all goes according to plan I'll take my last tablet on 14th April. [Good Friday!] Then its the convalescence back to 'a pre chemo hammered state', although it looks like I'll be on 5 years of Tamoxifen to block those naughty oestrogens. So full on menopausal symptoms here I come. Last week I felt fine although the taste thing has returned....maybe its slightly better with the zinc tablets!? I've found that eating soft licorice, given to me by a friend to try, helps to clear the horrible chemical taste that I get in my mouth. Doesn't do a lot for the colour of my teeth but hey maybe they detract from the red blotches I seem to have developed on my face....like with the spotty legs, no one seems to know what they are but I'm hopeful that they'll recede at the end of my chemo. On the hair front you'll be pleased to know that for the first time this morning I shampooed my quater inch mane and whilst in 'certain circles' I could now go bare headed, I don't think that Booths at Knutsford is quite ready for me yet. I've got a busy few days ahead with a couple of theatre trips, [Richard Alston and Blazing Fiddles plus a curry night]and so I'll have to work hard at pacing myself, but as always the distractions are welcome. Although I'll have to extricate myself from the Ian Rankin books that I have been kindly lent and to which I appear to have become addicted! By the way, Beccy and Pete really enjoyed their 1st PADI course last night and so I'm not the only one who's tired today! All for now, Love Pam X
