Story

OK, if you're visiting this page you probably know I have cancer. It's very curable, so I am trying to be optimistic. I've just had a hip replacement in the last couple of days as the Lymphoma just destroyed it. It has been agonising but necessary. 

Now the chemo I'll be doing is escalated BEACOPP. Everybody I've spoken to has lost their hair, and said it's really upsetting. Those I've spoken to who shaved it off first as a decision said they felt empowered, and generally much better than if they had watched it come out in clumps. I decided to be the latter!
