I miss my hair

Oh look - my hair! Tessie and I waiting for my MRI appointment in the waiting room - everyone thought we were out drinking in Fitzroy by the comments on Facebook.

I find myself pining for my hair - especially on these hot days. Always wearing a head covering is too hot, even the light cotton ones. I miss my eyebrows and eyelashes, I really thought I would keep them, but they fell out completely with the second last dose.

1year ago!

Santa didn't bring me any hair like I asked. It seems 1 step forward 2 steps back with it. My friar tuck hair style has gotten thicker, but the top which grew back first, seems to have been killed off with the 2nd drug.

But my eyes aren't weeping so much as before, there's some progress in the right direction.

My sister and nephew headed home back to Brisbane - it's always a little sad to see my family go back home after spending time together. Mum and Dad still here until Wednesday.

With my fat feet getting me down, the radiation side effects looming and surgery booked for 4 March, I know I have a way to go. I heard these lyrics and thought they were appropriate for the next 6 months for me.....

Fight Song

Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves Into motion
Just like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
(Starting right now) I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
