Well daughter had her first chemo on Friday for the Hodgkin's. She was going to be on a trial but her Ct scan has revealed that further Gland behind the upper rib cage has also been affected so she out of the criteria they need for the trial. Was a bit upset cos this means she has to have six months chemo instead of three , Was OK on Sat and thrilled cos the intense itching had subsided but hit a low yesterday cos she was very depressed. Next chemo Friday week

(((((hugs))))) to you all at such a difficult time. Take care Jenny :-) Shirley, you mentioned intense itching(?) not sure if it will help but peppermint lotion sometimes relieves it a little (usually used as foot cream in body shop etc). It makes the skin cool and it then struggles to send cold and itch messages at the same time. After sun might help too.

Joan Shes had her hair cut short as she was told it will be less dramatic when it starts to fall out. Spent two days crying cos she hated it. Everyone has told her they LIKE it so shes a bit better about it a the mo. Been referred for a wig so hope this happens sooner rather than later .
