Superficial , I know, but, to my delight I have spotted some �baby fluff� growing in my head. That must mean that the �chemical poison� ( alternatively referred to as Chemotherapy) is leaving my body, slowly, finally. Well, I hope so at last.
It is remarkable how this one Chemo session has knocked me over. To think that not only my hair fell out within 14 days of having the Chemo session, but the side effects I was told I �might� have, I had. One of the many side effects of the Chemo I had, was to �put on weight�. Initially I could not understand that, if you feel sick and can�t eat, how on earth do you put on weight. Well, I am living proof for that.
I have been living off fruit, veggies, pulses and salad with the occasional turkey breast thrown in. Do dairy, no meet, no sugar, no fat, no bread, no pasta, etc ( Rebecca you would be so proud of me. Who would have thought I would join the �almost� veggie club). Anyway my point being, I have not lost half an ounce. Not that I am trying to lose weight, I am actually more fascinated by the effects of Chemo. Living of less than approx. 1000 calories, eating no fat, no sugar, yet, I am sitting very comfortable in my padded backside.
Therefore in theory, if the Chemo is eventually now working itself out of my body, 8 weeks later, after the one session, my hair ( can�t call it hair just yet, but �baby fluff� all white and grey, but beggars can�t be choosers. Guess white fluff is better than shiny bald) appears to be doing something, other than falling out, so maybe my body, metabolism, immune system etc is also on the up.

So on that note, I will enjoy our home grown, grape and melon juice. ( even though the thought of an ice cold G&T, seems so appealing, but is part of another world now)
