Becalmed

My blisters have healed and I can walk normally again. Skin is still blotchy, itchy and ugly looking, especially on the back of my hands. My hair is starting to come out as silvery tufts if I give it a pull! Welcome follow up call from Anne at the Cancer Council Helpline at http://http://www.cancer.org.au/Home.htm. She will put me in phone contact with a volunteer who can share her experiences of stomach cancer. Also arranged for lunch next Tuesday with Lynne's friend Jenny who has survived this cancer and associated chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery.
Mug shot taken at home.
