I had my 3rd round of Paclitaxel last week. I didn't have any reaction the two previous times so I was allowed out of the ward and into a laz-y-boy this time. I also only had to have half of the antihistamine. So I am now over a quarter of the way through. I have had relatively little side effects, just a little tired, but what's new! I feel almost 100% again and am back cooking meals, getting groceries and doing a little bit of exercise.
You regular bloggers may remember a few posts back that I was busy making chemotherapy beanies. Well I have gone one step further with this concept and have gone into mass production, if you will.
I told the wonderful Cancer Society volunteer at Oncology that I would like to start making them for other wearers and she has helped me immensley in getting this off the ground. So far she has given me email addresses of four women who may be interested. Over the weekend my lounge became a sewing factory and by 6pm Sunday evening I had cut out and sewn 17 beanies, all in beautiful bright colours. I have also put together my own little business card and am in the process of completing a flyer. My darling husband has built me a website and if you click on the J'Beanies tab at the top of the page, it will take you to the link.
These beautiful beanies will also be available through this blog at $12.50 each.
I have gone with a jelly bean theme because of:-
1. The bright colours that I will be using are similar to jelly bean colours
2. The play on the word beanies and beans
3. The 'J' obviously being my initial.
I have also approached our local Cancer Society and they are interested in perhaps displaying them for me.
So out of a bad situation, perhaps a new venture will be born. Wish me luck!!
Julie, that's bloomin' marvelous - well done you. It's funny how good things come out of bad and you now have a new business. I am so proud of you - Linda x x x
