New hair

It felt sooooo good having my hair done again. I've already booked myself an appointment for 11 December so I can have it coloured for Christmas (my works do is on the 15th)!! I'm really looking forward to that, I'll feel more like my old self when I have a bit of colour in it.

This might sound daft, but I really felt like I'd achieved something yesterday when I had my hair done. Like I had ticked another thing off a list or something.

Hair cut!

Tomorrow I'm having my first post chemo haircut!! I'm quite excited:)

More bad news

My aunt phoned earlier, her best friend was diagnosed with breast cancer a few weeks ago and had a mastectomy last week. She got her post op results today, and has found out she will be having chemo and rads so is a bit upset. My aunt was a bit flustered about it all so phoned me for a bit more info. Horrible, nasty disease.

End of phased return

I've officially finished my phased return today. I can't believe I have been back at work 3 months. Doesn't time fly when you are having fun? Also got chance to have quite a good chat with my managers today, they are so good to me. I am very lucky to work for such a caring employer. Although I'm supposed to be back doing my job fully from Monday, I know they will give me a lot of support if I need it.

Dentist

I was at the dentist this morning. No problems there, but I have had to give him some information from the hospital to do with the trial I am taking part in. They've discovered that some people have/are suffering from some jaw problems with it so the dentist has to check with the hospital if he wants to do any surgical work on me. He gave me a very thorough check up, felt all round my jaw area and neck.

Insurance part 2

We've got it sorted now (it's taken over 3 hours!) and it has cost me an extra £250. I'm still a bit tearful to be honest, just cos yet again bc has got in the way of my life. But hey, shit happens eh?

The holiday had better be bloody good now!!

Insurance

I hate this f***in disease!!!!

Last night I booked a holiday with my family. The company have phoned my brother this morning to say they can't accept our booking until they have details of our insurance. Bet you can't guess why we didn't just accept their bog standard policy.....

Anyway, cue me frantically phoning round to try and get a policy today so we can confirm our booking.....AND ALL THE COMPANIES I'VE TRIED SO FAR ARE SHUT COS IT'S SUNDAY. I'm so frustrated I'm in tears.

I did get one quote online - for over £500... It's so unfair, I would have sorted it out as soon as, but now I feel like the holiday company are forcing me to rush and pay over the odds. I'm so f***in mad and upset. It's like being fined for being ill.

I am going on a summer holiday...

Well, nearly summer...

I've booked a holiday today. I'm off to Cyprus for Easter next year with my family. It's for a special occasion, so we've booked a villa and it sounds lovely.

I have to confess it felt a bit odd booking it...I've always been a last minute type of girl, I hate planning for things in advance... Last year was the first time in years that I booked a holiday in advance, and I ended up having to cancel cos I got diagnosed with breast cancer... Like I said, I just felt a bit odd, planning something...
