Short Hair Don't Care Part 2
So today is the one year anniversary of my diagnosis and I can't quite believe how time has flown. When I was 6ft deep into my dark and depressing chemo haze, time felt so terribly thick and unmoving so it feels strange that time has sped up to a point where I have to remind myself that this whole situation and the whole past year actually happened (Denial Round 2!). I guess that's always how it goes though, when you want time to fly it drags like a shackled tortoise and when life is happy and bright and full of promise, it swirls past like a sharp gust of gale force wind.
ANYWAY. Being my anniversary, I thought this would be an opportune time for me to wrap things up as I am SO OVER CANCER and all chat related to Cancer. Let's just not talk of it again okay. OKAY?
I am doing pretty good! I wouldn't say I am 100% but I am getting there. I still get pretty exhausted and the hardened veins in my arms are still a constant reminder. That and the fake boob and big scar. But I am mean otherwise I am good. I am currently back in Australia and will be returning to Sydney and to my former life which is pretty strange, exciting and nerve-wracking. Going back to the scene of the crime as it were and returning to work after a whole year is going to be a challenge but I think I got this. I mean, I just beat Cancer didn't I?!
My most popular blog was the one about my hair so I thought I would do a follow up. The funny thing about that blog was that the video didn't even show me losing my hair which I think is what people were expecting and which is why it was so popular. Yes, as a society we are pretty sick and as voyeuristic as ever so I get it. It's like our inability to look away when passing a car crash. So here it is, the updated video featuring my total hair loss and the full virtual car crash that was me and my chemo treatment. I am afraid to say that there are a few big gaps between selfies whilst in the thick of chemo. You try take a selfie every day when you look like GOLLUM!
There are a few pics of me pumped up, swollen and red from the steroids and a few others of me looking gaunt, grey and on the edge of sanity so you will get the picture. I've had some embedding issues so please click on the below pic that links to the video and don't forget to turn up that volume. And to read my FINAL post just click on to the next blog or click HERE.
