4 April

44% done with the chemo today - looking forward to tipping the scale! The horrible pink drugs are always administered on days 1 and 2; these are responsible for losing one's hair. So it is a relief once Wednesday arrives and there are no more pink drugs.

Kate is putting on a brave face in anticipation of feeling ill for the rest of the week. Today she was quite upbeat and we talked about the wonderful week-end we had at the beach with the boys and our friends.

The hair is progressively thinning, with eyebrows not being unscathed and looking less and less visible as the chemo continues. It is a nasty process.

Kate is looking forward to having a prosthesis fitted soon. Especially in winter it will help the appearance and hopefully it will also help with the phantom pain which is still present.
