Hair going really is quite a moment. Feels better once you get past that though, I promise.
Paddy, no way are you a fraud. Blimey, apart from anything else you've lost your mum to this bastard disease. Stick with us and ask anything you want. Waiting's horrid. 
Who was asking about cold cap? Think it was Snoopy. I had some success, but like Lime it made me dizzy. Am guessing you want honestly, so have to admit I threw up each time - sort of Pavlovian reaction I think, but then after that was genuinely okay and I stuck it through all 6 chemos. I started with a huge head of thick hair, which thinned a lot, and also huge bald patch. Still in a way was good, as I had fringe/ hair at back, so with a bit of artful scarfing, could not scream 'cancer' at everyone.
- if you do end up having mastectomy, it's really not so bad. I've had two now - with immediate reconstruction each time. If it happens, I reckon way through is to try and think about it as a good thing if you can, as it means there's very little breast tissue left for recurrence. Ask anything you want about it all, I have implants, which is simplest way of reconstruction.
Can't possibly post to all, though am noting MAS, we have same taste in men, as would definitely cross the road for Christopher Ecclestone. Saw him perform something last year though, and he's disappointingly titchy..
Amber, am in awe at Yurt building. 
BF brought round muffins and other nice snacks this morning to go with the huge box of chocs another friend brought into the hospital. Dh has just taken ds out for the afternoon, so me and my new breast will prop ourselves up on sofa cushions. No pics yet, Topsy (trust you to ask 
). Am still covered in bandages, though they do feel pretty symmetrical, so yay for that.
Gin, I'll have some Comte please and a pain au chocolate to go with the pot of coffee just made. Good choice to go to France. Hope you and DH can have a few treats after the week you've had.
Ned, those injections are a bit butch - had quite forgotten 'til you posted. Just tick off the days and rest up. Strangely I found walking helped. Did a lot of street pounding on Tax. xx
Ramble, ramble, though at 'Craft'. Waving to all - thanks for all your lovely messages. What would I do without you all.
