I apologise for the delay in blogging the past few weeks. I have been keeping a low profile, adjusting to the new schedule but above all I have been busy living my life as.. wait for it.. normal! I have actually had more of a social life the past month…
The first two questions I asked when I found out I needed more chemo were I am going to Sweden in three weeks so can we work around that please? Will my hair fall out? The answer to the first was yes of course and sadly for the last question…
