Little update

For those who might want to hear how my first Chemo treatment went today. I was in the Polyclinic around 10 o'clock and arrived home again at 3 o'clock this afternoon! I sat in a rather large room with about twenty five other ladies, all on the infuse. On the day of the operation, I met a lady who had to have the same operation as me so we sat next to each other today to exchange our news. I happen to know the lady who prepared the treatment I had to have, she is in our Church, so she came to say hello too. That was nice.
Not so good news about the ice-cap though - the hospital only had a limited amount and they were all in use, so when they had to be changed every 15 minutes, the new ones were not cold enough! I'm believing it might just be enough but I noticed on the nurses that they didn't believe in them at all.
So, I am o.k. at the moment... will update again soon.
Thank you all once again for the support, it went really well today.
