Look Good Feel Better

14th September

Look Good Feel Better (lookgoodfeelbetter.co.uk) is an international charity to help cancer patients deal with the side effects of cancer treatment.  I have found all sorts of useful things from there website.  Worth checking out.

Yesterday i finally took the big step and went and got my wig cut.  It has sat on the chest of draws for over two months, mostly covered in a scarf because i couldn’t face looking at it.  When Hope and i went to buy one it was the best they had but i knew it wasn’t me.  On Monday when i went to the theatre with Giles i wanted to feel normal,  ( whatever that is ) i guess i wanted to sit in a theatre with no scarf or hat on and feel that no one is looking at me thinking      (“ cancer!) Silly little thing, i know it sounds but sometime these small things can feel HUGE.  So off i went to The Paladium in my silly big tails and yes I suddenly thought time for look 3 , it’s wig time.  We have the scarves, we have the flowers, we have the fabulous hats now in 8 colours, (orders taken) and now we have the wigs.  Yes wigs, one blonde, one pink and one pale purple.

Back to the Look Good Feel Good.  When i came out of the hairdressers yesterday with my newly cut wig on i felt great.  So yes if you look good you truely do feel better. And here is the photo to prove it.

The question to day is what look today?  Fun fun fun.

On a more boring note the Chemo hell is beginning to set in.  The taste buds are going and it’sback To even water tasting weird.  Strong flavours for the next week or so.  Chilli flakes here we come!!  The tiredness is kicking in.  I have to conserve my energy as we are off to Southampton tomorrow to take Hope to uni and i have a vet appointment for Dolly this morning and oncologist for me this afternoon.  Fingers crossed we both get good news.    But the good news is it’s over, NO MORE CHEMO, as this bottle of fizz said when it was delivered.  Thank you J.

Please make it this week end that you take 5 mins to Check your BUMPS 4 LUMPS.  It saved me, make it save you.

Have a Glorious Weekend everyone.  Xx
