Thought I 'd try visiting the consultant in black today, when I went dressed in both pink and red it didn't go so well so black it is. Here's me getting ready to go.
So may be this should be a black letter day instead of a red letter day.
Anyway, it was to discuss my new treatment program and the winner is...topotecan.
This means I get to go in once a day for five days then I get three weeks off so my bone marrow can recover. A couple of times previously I'd got really anaemic and had no immune system to speak of. Which is not really good as you can imagine. That's all down to me poor old bones not making enough new blood.
I'd kind of hoped that it would be every three weeks so I could get three treatments in before xmas and so know if this one was working or not before the hols. If I am really strong they might be able to do it every three weeks.
New Mr Consultant is very nice and listens to my questions even if he is still not very good at anything to do with nutrition or complementary therapies. At least he tries.
Anyway what this means is NO HAIR AT ALL. Yes I know I've mentioned this a few times but you can imagine it's no fun for a lady. Think I might go to Selfridges and buy another wig cos Gloria (blonde wig) is a bit much for day wear.
This is me obsessing about my hair.
Well wouldn't you?
Mmmm, colour co-ordinated glasses, lippy and scarf , huh? Or were you just cold? wink You look v smart Candygirl, very Annie Hall. Sorry if that came out as an insult, it was meant as a compliment.
All I can say is that while you will know that you are wigged up, on the basis of this pic, you look like top totty
