Chemo seems to be going ok

Well so far so good, this 2nd cycle seems to be going ok, although very lethargic, at least Mum hasn't been rough with the sickness again. Part of me thinks that if she had been rough with it this time, she might have wanted to give up.

She was too tired to come with us on our day out over the weekend, but we called to see her on our way back.
She didn't have her hat on and it was the first time I have seen her hair properly, it is a lot thinner but I was suprised that her scalp wasn't as pink as what I was expecting.

I was reading on the internet that after you lose your hair you need to start taking care of your scalp a bit more, especially as its an area that isn't usually exposed to sunlight.

I think maybe we are all still in denial about the news, even me. I have been trying to be realistic about the whole thing and keep everyone focussed, yet Sunday evening just a song I heard, (Sandy from Grease, believe it or not) reminds me so much of mum, we have a recording on old chrome audio cassette of her singing it back in the late 70's. When I think hard enough I can still hear her voice, and then remember the other voices on this tape aswell, my sister telling jokes, and me answering "don't know" to everything, even knock knock jokes (well I was about 6 or 7!)
and my dad reciting a poem, a highway man came riding.
Funny I can still here it all as clear as day. Then I started to think I hope I never forget her voice.

So silly isn't it that the smallest of things can trigger this leakage from my eyes
