30th July 2007

Today was first chemo day.  Absolutely sh1ttin myself.
N came with me.  We got shown into a pokey little cupboard - thats where it was going to happen?

Ward very disorganised, no-one introducing themselves.  Eventually got sorted with the cold cap.  How can I describe that - an instrument of torture.  It really was horrible, and I had to have it on for about 4 hours in total.  Obviously it was my choice to have it, and could have stopped at any time, but I so do not want to lose my hair so am prepared to put up with the pain - and belive me it was painful.

It came time to get my chemo - nurse came in with syringes full of the poison.  I just cried silent tears when she started giving me it - and she wandered why I was crying?????  I HATE being in the care of adult services.  Thank you N for being there and keeping me amused - must have been hard for you.

Went home after - didnt know what to expect, how I was going to feel..................felt a bit nauseas in evening but not too bad.

Was looking on the internet and found BCC - an online support forum.  Didnt post at first but sent away for lots of info.
