Hi everyone,

I went this morning for my second stomach jab and will be getting another tomorrow. When I saw him yesterday, my doc was not too happy with my white cell count, hence the jabs. He said we will wait to set the surgery date after the next blood count, which will be next Tuesday.

Sue, you were asking what my kids said after they saw me with no hair. Well Noshi (for those who don't know them, he's 3 yrs) kinda went really quiet and for a while kept his distance and just watched. After a while, he asked me in a very concerned voice who had cut my hair. I told him Mutua (my brother in law). He asked, why. I told him I wanted to look nice like him. After that there was another loooong silence but eventually he came and touched my head and since then has been ok. Derek (5 yrs), when he first saw me yelled, Mummy you've become a boy! I said no. He said, but you have a haircut. I said even girls can have haircuts. He asked, so you are still a girl. I said yes. Since then, both of them have told me enough times how they like my "haircut". They actually prefer me without the wig!

Later,
Dee
