  • I have finally caught up Taxi I am glad you have dealt with your hair better than constantly worrying about it. The wig looks wonderful I am sure it will really suit you.:T You are nearly at treatment no. 2 thats great you are really doing so well and I agree with so many of the posts above you need to let your feelings out.

    Great news about the gold I had most of mine stolen some years ago and other than sentimental reasons I have not missed it I bought a large dining table and chairs with the insurance money thinking slip that into your pockets you barstewards.:mad:

    Naughty Tess but only the best for her!:D

    You are doing absolutely fantastic with the mortgage busting I know you are doing it as much for your OH as anything but it does mean that the pair of you will really be able to enjoy yourselves which is great.:)

    Hope all goes well on Wednesday glad the omeprazole is working for you it didn't work for me but I haven't had to take anything since I started this diet - normally being on holiday eating later and more fancy food would be a real problem OK I still can't eat but at least I am not being sick:rotfl:

    Love DTxx

    Just to let you all know....I've had DH shave my head on a no2 as my hair was coming out by the handful...

    have had a lovely tea of salmon,new potatoes,peas,sweetcorn and cheese sauce...we had the same yesterday as well...all was organic except the cheese sauce.

    Tomorrow is organic pork and buttery leek sausages,organic mash and organic beans ...so am looking forward to that as well...lol

    hope everyone is having a good day

    Well that is a wonderfully proactive step for you, but a sad one as well xx. One more stage for getting the cancer out:D And hopefully you will begin to feel more comfortable.

    The teas sound fab. :)

    Oh goodness me......mahoosive hugs Taxi. Big shock to the system methinks?

    Your hair WILL grow back ..but that's not the real issue is it?

    It's the significance of what it represents....it's now for real:grouphug::grouphug:...sounds like you are finally going to have to accept "the !!!!!!!" is here inside you and needs eradicating....and by gum you WILL be making sure it has no further home to go to :T:T

    So - you will need a bit of time to come to terms with this - and you (might) also need to know that there are an awful lot of people on this site that are sending you postiive vibes and masses of hugs to stay strong.....so yes, a wallow is good - rage, sob, kick out for a while against the injustice of it all..... and then come back here to your friends who are living every bit of this with you and supporting you all the way


    Toddles off to find an internet provider who can send a tonne of G&B ginger tomorrow :D

    BTW - A very brave decision......a no 2 :cool::cool::cool:......

    Hope you;re doing OK tonight - although I suspect you might be having a bit of a wibble....just so you know - we're all sending our love to you.....and you WILL get through this stage sweetheart and move forwards ..even though it might not seem it atm

    More hugs :grouphug::grouphug:

    All I can do is echo what everyone has said, ur a strong person, you've come on here and been there for us all, ur a star and an inspiration to all.

    Maybe keep a towel ot one of those hair tubans by the door, so it would like you've just washed your hair?

    You take care xx

    Thanks all...I'm fine about my hair now in the house anyway...the only people that usually knock are sales people so that should get rid of them quick sharp...lol.

    DH thinks it looks ok.

    Don't know whether I'm brave enough to go out in the wig yet but need to be by wednesday for the loopy juice.

    Will maybe try the wig in the morning

  • Big big hugs Taxi . That must have been really hard for you:(

    I now feel really ashamed as I have just been winging that I badly need a haircut and my roots need doing:o:o. You again have made me see the bigger picture ;)

    Lots of love to you
