Well, two weeks on and I'm starting to feel really well and no chemo looming to put a dampener on things - yah boo to all that!! Now my hair has stopped falling out I had the luxury of my first hair cut since November - Jon Hurst on Cotham Hill does a half price chemo head cut but I hope you never need to know that!!
Once again, I'm finding it hard to believe there's anything wrong with me..except that the scans are already marked on the calendar - 26th March for the CT scan which will show whether the cancer has gone anywhere else in my body (it shouldn't have given the medical onslaught it has just endured) and 2nd April for the bone scan which will show how effective the treatment has been. Still, I've got two weeks before I need to worry about the results of those.
Otherwise, Martin is getting ready for the Bath Half Marathon, Iona is starting swimming lessons tomorrow and I am doing a bit too much work for my own liking (but I've only got myself to blame for that). I'm looking forward to spending this weekend with four of my oldest schoolfriends who are flying in from Paris, Milan and Edinburgh!! Next weekend I'm away on another girls' weekend with another three schoolfriends - oh yes, I'm making the most of it!!
More soon.
Love Vicky xx

All fingers and toes crossed for the forthcoming tests - you know this bus is right behind you all the way!
