eyelashes lost sadly

I bought some lovely natural looking false eyelashes from Boots in Solihull yesterday and glued them on after putting in my contact lenses and managed to loose one of the pair so I will have to go in again and get another pair.
 The pain I have been getting in my legs I'm pretty sure are caused by the chemo as I have had very tender arm muscles for a while and as one of the nurses said chemo can affect your body in all sorts of ways.
 I phoned my cousin Wyn today and we realised we had never met as I am much younger than her. She used to live in the same city as me Birmingham but moved down south to Essex. Gray's brother and his family live in Essex so I've asked him if we can visit her next time we go down there and he says yes. I can't wait to meet her. Her daughter's have been looking for me on facebook under my maiden name so now Wyn is going to tell them to look for my married name.I have just done a survey on Force about metastic breast cancer and prevention of ovarian cancer which I was very happy to do and would encourage others to do the same.

False eyelashes

Hi, with the chemo I have lost a lot of eyelashes so I bought some false eyelashes today.

trip to town

Went into the city centre today by bus to pick up my contact lenses. I can definately see better with it but not as sharp as the other one. The optician wants to see me again in two weeks.
  I've recently started straightening my hair again since I srarted chemotherapy and every time I straighten it a load of hair comes out so I thought it was about time I started wearing my wig. When I bought the wig I bought some special shampoo for it which I lost. So I went into Selfridge's where I bought it from today to get some more. The lady who sold me it asked me where I'd bought it from and said it was gorgeous and really suits me I thanked her of course and was very flattered I said I am very happy with it.

Hay fever sorted.

Today I started on a new antihistamine called Zirtak as my precious one clarytin had stopped working.Since taking it I haven't sneezed once it works great.

Learning

Went to a craft day today to learn how to make greeting cards which I'd tried to do before but hadn't got a clue what I was doing. Bought lots of lovejy stuff to make cards and met nice local people

 I also learned that I can't stay in one position for more than 3 hours because of my asthma, I get pains in my legs as I'm not circulating enough oxygen around my body by using my leg muscles. This could cause a problems at the cinema, theatre or lectures or for that matter on a long haul flight.

  The opticians phoned me to say my new prescription contact lenses are ready to pick up. So I'm into the city centre tom Yrrow to pick them up. Yipee!

Chemo nearly over

Had my 5th and last but one chemo yesterday and am back on the chocolate and the booze!
Sadly my best friend Mo who had breast cancer the first time the year before me has it again. I just hope she hasn't got secondaries like me. Luckily she isn't BRCA positive.
I took my beconase inhaler back to the chemist's today as it's been playing up but it was working ok when I got there. The lady behind the counter said her mum has the same trouble with her's and she has to use it in different positions, the inhaler that is!
I now have my new prescription contact lens and my vision in that eye is so sharp I cam't see so well out of the other.So I saw my dishy Canadian optician today abd he reckons the eye I can't see out too well the contact lens is too strong so he's ordering me a new prescription for that eye.

New doctor's practice

I am so pleased I changed to a new doctor's practice. My new doc gave me a stronger inhaler which my old doc's refused to give me and the pain in my legs I was getting daily due to lack of oxygen has completely gone and I've got my breath back. I feel like my old self again.
