My first reaction when I was tol...Hi Les & Jac<br /><br />My first reaction when I was told that I needed to have chemo then radiology was that I didn't want it. They gave me a week to think about it. After talking to many people I went ahead with it and mine wasn't nearly as bad as I had imagined. When my hair fell out I didn't get upset as I thought I would, just a bit annoyed that it covered clothes chairs pillow and the like. loved the "action man style" when it started growing back. Don't rule anything out. My motto now is keep all the options open. I still have regular check ups but as you know I'm doing just fine, Wishing you well, Take care, <br />SandraSandranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-42620013732109494992013-09-05T07:04:21.621+00:002013-09-05T07:04:21.621+00:00Hi Les & Jaq

Instead he carried the radio on a sling belt over one shoulder. Apart from that he appeared to live and work a very normal life.<br /><br />On a more humorous note, another colleague was diagnosed with bowel cancer and the doctors advised he would have a stoma. When he told his friends one immediately said he wanted to help and would start saving his Tesco bags! The naive comment had us all in stitches. :-) <br /><br />Good to read you're very positive about the situation!<br /><br />All the best<br /><br />Tom & JanTom and Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277996736846008000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-73597936785267539842013-09-04T19:57:48.510+00:002013-09-04T19:57:48.510+00:00Stay strong Les, You'll beat this.

It's just that I've been through a similar illness that lasted 4 years. <br /><br />I know how it feels and all the psychology involved just like Jaq. By rights I shouldn't be here, but I am..<br /><br />People have told me I've got a guardian angel. Here's hoping you do too.<br /><br />Best wishes<br /><br />Heth xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
