Cycle 2 is progressing well

Hi to all,

I have just completed Cycle 2: Day 1, 2 and 3 of Chemotherapy. It has been far less stressful doing it all for a second time as Team Georgia is in place, I am familiar with the processes and staff at Peter Mac Hospital, and have been priviledged to meet several of the volunteer staff who have made my visits there relaxed and welcoming. I was offered a beautiful hand massage prior to chemo on Day 1 (Wednesday)

I have experienced a little nausea after Day 1, but am getting better at managing what to expect on certain days. In Cycle 1 my energy levels (now that I look back) were lower in week 2 than in week 3.So I know not to plan much until week 3 now.

I have booked in for a Hair appointment at Peter Mac to do the final deed as my hair now is very short and disappearing fast. Oh well, it was bound to happen. I have plenty of scarves, beanies and hats and may look at a wig as well ....I'm told I look OK but people can be kind at times!

I have also booked into Peter Mac for a "Look good Feel great" session at the end of the Cycle to look good and feel great. It should be fun and ofcourse the Volunteers donate stacks of stuff to give away. They are amazing and worth supporting if anyone is keen to support Peter Mac.

Thanks also to the bloggers who have sent messages. Your words of encouragement mean a lot to me.
I have also had wonderful emails and phone contact with old friends and I have appreciated your mention of love, concern and prayers.

Not that it always has to be that way, but I am in fine spirits and feeling good and strong.

Much love,
Georgia
