Where To From Hair

Thursday 23rd September was officially my last day of chemotherapy. It was a strange feeling that I would not be coming back and I know I am going to miss some of the people that I have met whilst having my treatment.

In the morning before my chemo appointment, I had an appointment with a specialist at the Womens clinic with regards to my fibroids. He doctor said that he was most unimpressed by my fibroids and didn't actually know why I had been sent there. He decided to see me again in March when I would have an ultrasound to see if the fibroids had grown at all. As long as they aren't giving me any trouble, then he was quite happy to leave well alone. In other words, if it ain't broken, don't fix it.

I then went on to chemo ward. I gave Margaret, my Cancer Society Volunteer angel a bunch of flowers to thank her for all that she had done for me. There were a lot of women that I had met over the six months that wanted to see me before I left, so it was a very busy afternoon.

If you remember a few posts back I had made some premature baby beanies. Well my contact came to see me whilst I was having chemo and told me that the hospital shop had decided to sell these cut little hats on my behalf, so I pretty pleased about that.

So I walked out of the oncology ward feeling somewhat of a free woman, although I know I am sure I will go back and visit from time to time. I went home and cooked tea and opened a bottle of bubbly to celebrate.

Also if you remember back as far as six months when I blogged about the orcas and how they inspired me to face six months of chemotherapy. Well I have added a new charm to my Pandora bracelet to commemorate. I couldn't find an actual orca but I think this little whale is close enough. At least I know what it means. The little angel next to it is the charm that my daughters gave me for Xmas last year. It was this little angel that was to look after me whilst I recovered. I think she did her job extremely well, don't you think!


I have pretty much ditched my wig now as my hair is sprouting like new spring growth. I think I mentioned a few blogs back that I had bought myself a new hat. Well here it is.


So now I have lots of things to look forward to.
1. Shedding the 5kgs that I put on whilst having chemo
2. The growth of JBeanies
3. My cousin Helen arriving from the UK on 15th October for eight days
4. Holiday up north with my husband and cousin, doing all the touristy things
5. My hair growing back; and it's off to a great start.
