I'm so pleased people have found the blog has given them some encouragement. The apprehension of the unknown is hard to deal with before starting treatment & it was really important to me when I heard some accounts that it could actually be ok. Up to that point all I heard was how awful it was & I visualised myself in bedridden hell for 11 months. It couldn't be more different (for me at least). I think I have appeared completely well too. I don't think anyone who didn't know I was on treatment would guess that I was. The other female members of the team where I work are mystified (& fairly jealous I think!) at how I seem to eat so much but stay slim. I'm sure they'll be pleased when I mysteriously gain weight in a few weeks! I think I've probably lost about half a stone during treatment, though my appetite has remained the same. Not much comes between me & food.
I've done my last injection now & stop the tablets next week. I'm looking forward to dying my hair & it resuming it's normal thickness as it looks pretty scraggy (anyone starting treatment don't panic - no bald patches!)
