Day 19

First of all I would like to thank you all for your input over my wigs. I've read everyone's comments and messages, but I'm still finding it a really hard decision. It means that the options are endless for a new style of hair, which makes choosing my wig such a tough decision. There are almost TOO many options. The final decision will be made on Monday though, so watch this space...

It will be just in time too, as the hair is slowly starting to fall out - I've been leaving a small trail of hair behind me wherever I go. As well as wigs, there are lots of other ideas for covering my balding head, including this elastic bandana which arrived today. Everyone keeps saying that I have a nice shaped head, so hopefully when I am bald, it won't be too bad.

In other news, I'm sure you are all delighted to know that my bum feels much better. So much better in fact that I managed to have a walk around today. And not just any walk, but a walk OUTSIDE. I feel like I've not been outside for some time, so this was pretty incredible. We managed to walk to the Maggie's Center, which is a beautiful building to be used by anyone going through cancer and their families. They offer some pretty incredible help at Maggie's, including a nutrition class and a 'look good, feel better' class, which I will be attending next week. The 'look good, feel better' class gives you the opportunity to be taught how to cleanse, tone and apply make up by cosmetics specialists. So, hopefully they will be able to make sure that I don't look too bad when I'm bald after all. And just to top it off, I get a goody bag full of make up from the likes of Clinique, Clarins and L'Oreal, as sold in Debenhams, John Lewis and Boots...because I'm worth it!

Another charity within the hospital are Friends of Anchor who offer weekly craft classes. So far I have attempted a broach (not very successfully), but I've also been making sharpie designs on crockery. So, if anyone wants a decorated mug or plate let me know - I'll be taking in the orders.

Finally, I have to give a huge shout out to all my friends at Queens Links Cineworld in Aberdeen, who are organising a bone marrow event on Sunday. The fact that you guys have organised this for me is just incredible, and I feel so lucky to have people like you supporting me at the moment. For anyone in Aberdeen the event will be 12-5pm on Sunday, so make sure that you drop in to learn more about becoming a bone marrow donor. Thank you again to everyone for all your support so far - you are all amazing. And I even have my own poster now!
