The Sunshine Six # Session 4

Friday 14 April 2017



For my forth cycle of Chemo I got to wear something really special from the beautiful shop Hope25. The lovely owner Melissa creates t-shirts with inspiring messages for those under going chemo and other cancer treatments. 

Had fun mixing it up wearing my lilac wig and flower crown, because...why not!


Cycles 4 and 5 - Adjusting to my not so normal routine

Tuesday 11 April 2017

Here we go again! Getting used the this crazy routine that's become my life for the time being. We've stopped rushing to chemo on the early Tuesday mornings now as we've realised the nurses don't mind us being a little late...well that's what we have assumed anyway!

Same thing - check my weight, check my bloods, obvs and give me my anti-nausea tablets and we get going. Everything seems to go a little quicker now as I know what I'm expecting - no more imaginary trip to Western Australia, I'd be lucky to to reach Canberra in this time! I even know the routine of how the sterilise everything! Perhaps a nurse in training? haha

During these two cycles I get lots of visitors as well as others taking me to my appointments. I get to show them around my hood - the good coffee place,  'my chair', and my nurses!

Chemo buddies!

I also got to meet someone very special - Rebecca. She was diagnosed with the exact lymphoma as me, three months earlier. I can't tell you how good it was to talk to someone the same age going through the same challenges.


Shift work -

 My family and friends are a great help, with almost a different person each time taking me to my appointments.


Chemo crocheting with the Smalleys :) 

Does it look like I know what I'm doing - as I really have no idea! (even though I was shown numerous times) I blame my numb fingertips but I don't even think that was the issue!

Lilac wigs and birthday celebrations

Sunday 9 April 2017

I was overly happy to celebrate my 25th birthday. Yes I was going through hell, but this just made me want to celebrate the good times even more so. I thought what better way to share the love then make everybody wear a wig with me! I was so excited to wear my lilac wig. It was a very warm Autumn day - so I was quite comfortable in having no hair under my wig - but my guests were definitely feeling the heat! It was such a great day and something I'll remember as such a fun time in this whole process. Thank you everyone for making this so special.
